Owners and operators of CNC routers and digital cutting tables are being encouraged to explore the latest tooling developments from
Industrial Tooling Corporation (ITC), which has expanded its already extensive portfolio of cutting tools and knife blades to support an ever wider range of materials and applications.
The Tamworth-based manufacturer has introduced a series of new solutions throughout 2024 and 2025, all now available in its updated Folio catalogue. As the UK’s leading producer of cutting tools for the CNC routing and digital cutting sector, ITC continues to monitor industry trends closely and respond with technologies designed to overcome emerging challenges.
One of the most significant of these is the increasing issue of delamination, a problem that has grown as more businesses adopt direct-to-substrate printing on ACM, CFRP and similar materials before cutting. ITC has once again delivered highly specialised tooling innovations to counter these issues, with its technical team on hand to advise customers on the most suitable options for their processes.
The breadth of ITC’s product portfolio for the signmaking and packaging industries further reinforces the company’s position as a benchmark supplier. Its presence at industry events will highlight the depth of its standard and bespoke routing tools, its knife tooling ranges and its fast-turnaround regrinding service — an offering possible only through UK-based manufacturing. With a team of highly experienced engineers, a fully equipped domestic production facility and a robust technical support network, the company continues to help customers improve machining performance across all material types.
This combination of engineering expertise, continuous innovation and thousands of stocked product lines has ensured ITC’s status as the industry’s largest and most successful supplier for more than three decades. As businesses face rising costs and adopt more environmentally conscious practices, ITC’s regrinding service is becoming increasingly valuable, allowing customers to refurbish worn tools to near‑new condition at a fraction of the cost of replacement.
Reflecting on the year ahead, ITC’s Sally Hunt said: “In 2026, we’ll be once again actively discussing the production challenges with industry customers and colleagues. This continuous dialogue is more pertinent now than ever before, as material technology, cutting applications and environmental concerns continually evolve. ITC’s face-to-face engagement with the industry enables us to witness the difference between high-quality UK products purchased directly from manufacturers like ITC, and overseas products purchased via distribution channels.”
Alongside its expanding line-up of routing tools and its comprehensive knife-blade regrinding service, ITC is also encouraging customers to make use of its wide range of complementary workshop essentials, including sacrificial sheets, lubricants, anti-slip matting, router collets, CNC tool holders and other accessories critical to efficient cutting operations. The company continues to welcome enquiries from manufacturers facing production difficulties, offering guidance shaped by decades of direct industry experience and a commitment to delivering practical, results-driven solutions.
