Gilmore produces large volumes of corporate and hospitality pieces for its extensive furniture customer base. These pieces are manufactured from a variety of materials – MDF, particleboard, plywood, solid lumber and metal, as well as countertop materials from Corian® and Avonite. To process these materials and manufacture the multiple product lines, Gilmore sought industrial-quality cutting tools that were durable, long-lasting and would provide consistent, superior cutting performance over an extended period of time. Gilmore also needed products that could maintain production efficiencies while being used for a number of applications – sawing, boring and routing – in handheld, table-mounted or CNC machines. "Because we manufacture such an extensive array of products for variety of customers in the same facility, we required tools for an assortment of applications including drilling, boring, trimming and profiling," said Kevin McCarthy, CNC Engineer with Gilmore Furniture. "During our search, we concentrated on companies that could fulfill all of our needs and provide the best cutting and finishing performance."
