Custom Tooling Services
Precision tooling manufacturer in Davison, Michigan. Send us the print. We build the tool.
You can usually tell which suppliers understand real manufacturing and which ones only understand catalogs. You see it in how fixtures fit, how tools last, and whether the setup measures the part or the flex in the machine. When an off-the-shelf tool almost works, Veit Tool builds the one that actually does.

What We Build
Custom tooling is any tool, fixture, or gage engineered for one specific part instead of pulled from a shelf. For most clients, that means:
Custom Fixtures
Custom fixtures that hold awkward or complex parts in the exact position required for accurate machining, assembly, or inspection every cycle.
Custom Gages
Custom gages that check dimensions standard catalog instruments cannot reach, engineered specifically for your part and tolerance requirements.
Test Fixtures
Test fixtures that verify a part works properly before it ships, helping ensure reliable performance and consistent manufacturing quality.
Quality Control Fixtures
Manufacturing quality control fixtures that quickly sort good parts from bad directly on the production line every cycle.
Replacement Tooling
Replacement tooling built to replace worn, damaged, or obsolete tools and keep production running with minimal downtime and disruption.
Reverse-Engineered Tooling
Reverse-engineered tooling for parts whose original drawings are long gone, restoring function without redesigning the entire process.
Our Standard Products, Born From Custom Work
Some builds get requested so often they become standard products:
- Gear Roll Test Fixtures: double-flank composite inspection in manual, motorized, and pneumatic configurations
- Gear Burnishing Systems: cleaner surface finish after heat treat, up to 600 parts per hour
- Ball/Pin (DOB/DOP) Gages: measurement over pins and balls
