Industries Served

At Detroit Edge Tool Co., we are dedicated to offering precision machine components for aerospace, automotive, and steel mills industries, as well as durable alligator, mobile shear attachment, and baler/logger shear blades for the recycled materials and demolition industries.

Metal Scrap and Recycling Industry

The scrap metal recycling industry implements the use of hydraulic scrap shears to replace torch cutting methods, primarily for efficiency, productivity, and labor-saving purposes.

Alligator, baler/logger, and (excavator-based) mobile shear attachments are fixtures at scrap processing facilities around the world, and they require proven quality shear blades to deliver cutting/shearing performance for decreased downtime and maximum profitability.

Machine Tool Industry (Aerospace, Automotive, Steel Mill)

Detroit Edge Tool Co. serves a broad range of customers in the machine tool industry, including those in aerospace, automotive, and steel mill operations. These sectors require high-precision components and tools to maintain the efficiency and functionality of their machinery. Our products are built to meet these stringent requirements, having smooth and precise operations in these high-performance industries.

For aerospace manufacturers, the demand for precision is especially high. Components like machine ways, bronze & steel liners, and guide rails are commonly used in aerospace machining processes. These parts provide smooth movement and support for machinery, having tight tolerances and high reliability. 

Our machine knives and shear blades are used in ‘cut to length’ and squaring applications for ferrous and non-ferrous metal commonly used in manufacturing processes where precise dimensions and clean edges are crucial for further processing or packaging, such as HVAC, commercial appliances, automotive and aerospace industries.

Precision Machine Components

Detroit Edge Tool’s specialty is precision manufacturing of machine tool components such as machine ways & rails providing structural integrity, and a smooth, precisely aligned surface on which the carriage or table of a machine tool, such as a lathe, milling machine, or CNC machining center moves to produce accurate cuts with minimal deviation.

In addition to machine ways & rails, we also offer machine gibs that provide precise adjustment and maintain alignment between moving parts in machining centers, as well as bolster plates that provide a stable mounting foundation for parts commonly used in the stamping and forging industries.

Sub-Contract Machining & Grinding Services

In addition to providing high-quality products, Detroit Edge Tool Co. also offers sub-contract machining and grinding services. These services allow businesses in various industries to benefit from our expertise and advanced machining capabilities without having to invest in expensive equipment.

Through our sub-contract machining services, we offer the flexibility to manufacture tooling components designed for customized applications and requirements, as well as reverse engineering on obsolete or ‘make to order’ shear blade requirements.
