THINBIT Celebrates 55 Years
July 1, 2019
Kaiser Tool Company is celebrating 55 years of its THINBIT cutting tool line.
Kaiser Tool Company was founded in 1964 with the purpose of supplying small lathe cutting tools that were not available as standard, in-stock items. William (Bill) Kaiser owned a job shop and was constantly hand grinding grooving tools to the size he needed. He realized there was a need for small, ready to use grooving tools. He decided to make tools starting at .004" of an inch and available in .001" increments. Lathe tools were known as bits, and because the tools were thin, THINBIT was chosen as the product name. Kaiser began producing grooving tools out of his garage. The idea was successful and the company grew.
In 1994 the company built an energy efficient manufacturing facility, and in 2018 expanded the facility, adding additional manufacturing space. This year, the original manufacturing floor is being remodeled to improve efficiency and working conditions.
The line of THINBIT cutting tools today includes more than 100,000 in-stock tools for grooving, threading, parting, boring and turning, as well as custom tools.
