What Integrity Saw & Tool does

Integrity Saw & Tool, Inc. is a custom cutting tool manufacturer headquartered in a single facility at 217 E Larsen Drive, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. The company produces standard and custom end mills (including a proprietary METALIST high-performance line in submicron carbide with 4-flute and 5-flute configurations), custom port tools, custom cutting tools built from CAD drawings or reverse-engineered from existing tools, and custom carbide-tipped saw blades with diameters from 2 to 36 inches. Operations are organized into distinct departments (CNC, Spinning, Saw, Manual Grinding, Coating, and Inspection) supporting both product manufacturing and ancillary service work.

The underlying technology stack centers on ANCA CNC tool grinders (MX7, RGX, RX7, TX7, TX7+, CPX), ZOLLER inspection equipment, and an in-house Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coating facility built around PLATIT Pi111 PLUS G3 technology, which produces proprietary Nano and layered coatings under the ExtremeIST and ExtremeIST Chrome brands as well as DLC, TICN, TIN, and ZRN finishes. The facility is climate-controlled and operates two shifts to process hundreds of tools daily. Together, the equipment base and coating capability allow the company to control grinding tolerance, geometry (variable flute designs to reduce chatter), and surface treatment within a single operation.

The business model is a hybrid of custom manufacturing, standard product sales, and aftermarket services. Custom tools and modified tooling are quoted on a per-spec basis via an online quote form with a 24-hour response commitment; standard end mills are sold through published unit pricing (list prices from approximately $40.83 to over $442) and distributor-discounted pricing. Service revenue is generated through tool regrinding and reconditioning (including an RTD3 rapid 3-day delivery tier), in-house recoating, modified tooling, and weekly delivery-and-pickup routes. Go-to-market is dual-channel: a sales and delivery team (Business Development Manager and Account Manager) visits up to 250 customers weekly across Central, Northeastern, and Southeastern Wisconsin, complemented by an industrial distributor network spanning Wisconsin, Northern Illinois, and Eastern Minnesota. End customers are predominantly machine shops, with secondary exposure to tool and die/mold makers, metal fabrication, woodworking, plastics, and construction.
