Brown & Sharpe, a company tied to the very start of the screw machine and turned parts industry. Its roots date back to 1833, being incorporated as Brown & Sharpe in 1868. Many of today’s industry standards are still based on those developed by Brown & Sharpe engineers.

The tool holder line found on this site has been the backbone for many automatic screw machines. These holders continue to provide the industry with dependable service, because of their repeatability and durability. Even though the holders were original design for one machine, they have found their way on to almost every machine being used for turned parts production. Our tool holders continue to be built to the same standards that set the bar for the industry.
