Engineering & Design Services



We custom design workholding solutions to fully address the parts features and workholding application. Some companies create “custom” chucks by altering a standard item to “make it work”. Skill-Craft takes a systematic approach to design a chuck custom to you – custom to your application and custom to your part.

Whether you are replacing an existing chuck or having troubles with a current application, Skill-Craft engineers can provide you with the appropriate solution to your needs.

    Troubleshooting & Reverse Engineering

    Troubleshooting
    		Skill-Craft specializes in problem solving with over half a century of knowledge in workholding applications. Let Skill-Craft’s engineers provide you with a solution if you are having trouble with:

  • Constant maintenance of current chuck
  • Out of round finished products
  • High scrap rates
  • Non-conforming production parts
  • Chatter while machining
  • Long change over times
  • Poorly manufactured replacement tooling
  • Long lead times for chuck assemblies or other perishable items
    •

    Reverse Engineering
  • Don’t have prints of a current product, or don’t know who made it? That’s no problem!
  • Skill-Craft has the most up-to date gages and checking capabilities that you don’t need a print: Provide us with a current part and we will produce an identical replica.
