Princeton Tool

Princeton Tool is a precision machining and tooling company with sites in Ohio, Florida and California. The site lists operating locations in Mentor, Ohio, Tampa, Florida and Valencia, California. It does not name a head office. The company was started in 1997 by owner Ken Bevington, who began work in the basement of his family's house.

The company has several business units. These are engineering and tool manufacturing, layout services, wax patterns, precision machining, turbomachinery, business services, engineering and tool machining, wax, dress and assembly, and development.

The wax patterns and mold assembly business unit services major foundries across the United States of America. The site says this lets foundries keep floor space for dip lines, mold storage and furnaces. The site says Princeton Tool has supported the investment casting industry for more than 23 years.

The machining group works on investment castings from across the country and around the world. The site says its foundry support focuses on complex products for the aerospace and industrial gas turbine industries. Its programmers and engineers typically have 25 years of experience.

The company works with titanium, Inconel, Waspaloy, Hastelloy, Haynes 188, K-Monel, Rene-41, Udimet, A-286, CRES and single crystal alloys. It also works with unsintered ceramic materials. The site says the company does five-axis programming and rapid response prototyping as a job shop.

The site lists more than 135,000 square feet of manufacturing space, more than 150 employees and more than 170 pieces of equipment across four states. Project management and job tracking tools give customers one point of contact.
