Carbide Tool Services, Inc. (CTS) is the only indexable tool repair company in the country that has achieved ISO 9001:2000 certification. This achievement, along with our exclusive Q3 quality process, has separated CTS from others in the indexable tool repair market.

The ISO 9001:2000 standards fit cohesively with the CTS Q3 process that has been in place for years. The simple idea behind Q3 is to inspect and document specifications throughout the tool repair process, as well as integrate an independent inspection department. The synergy of the two programs ensures that all tooling is repaired and inspected to the original specifications.

CTS' twenty-five year aggressive pursuit of higher quality standards has made us the leader in the indexable tool repair industry. It is this same aggressiveness and consistency that will continue to make CTS' tool repair programs successful in the future.

CTS continues its commitment to quality by complying with the new ISO 9001:2000 standards. Re-certification was obtained in 2003.
