When off-the-shelf tools don’t cut it, Tri Tool steps in with configurable machining solutions designed to match your application, not the other way around. For decades, Tri Tool has been the partner of choice for industries that demand high-precision machining under complex conditions, think tight tolerances, restricted access, unique geometries, or exotic materials. With our team of in-house engineers, we go beyond our catalog of portable tools to build configurable equipment that meets your exact job specs.

Precision Tools, Configured for You

Whether you need a slight modification or a fully tailored build, Tri Tool offers modular, scalable, and application-specific machine designs. Tools like the Precision Boring Machine, Elliptical Manway Machine, and Trepan Machine are just a few examples of how we engineer solutions that others can’t.

• Precision Boring Systems deliver tight-tolerance machining for high-value pipe end and bore profiles.
• The Elliptical Manway Machine adapts to irregular vessel geometries, delivering clean, accurate cuts around complex contours.
• Trepan Machines provide efficient material removal in heavy-wall applications, with custom feed rates, cutter types, and mounting options.

Engineered to Solve Challenges Others Can’t

Tri Tool’s configurable solutions aren’t limited to shape or size—they’re designed to solve real-world problems in field machining. Whether you're working in a nuclear containment area, power plant outage, or offshore platform, our team works with you to develop tooling that:

• Fits restricted spaces or custom pipe profiles
   

• Handles large diameters or deep cuts
   

• Performs multi-step operations in one setup
   

• Maintains concentricity and squareness across variable surfaces

Every field environment brings its own unique challenges and Tri Tool’s configurable tooling is built to meet those demands head-on. Our design philosophy centers on making tools that not only perform with accuracy but also integrate seamlessly into confined or hazardous workspaces. From machines that operate vertically inside pressure vessels to those that perform compound beveling and facing in a single pass, each solution is precision-built to minimize disruption and maximize efficiency during critical operations.

Configured by Experts Who Understand the Field

Our proprietaryconfigured tooling approach ensures that every solution is rooted in real performance demands not theoretical specs. Armed with your project requirements such as specific mounting, material type, and other unique challenges, our team will devise a plan that works for you.  That means your team gets equipment built for field realities like limited access, mission-critical uptime, and safety constraints. TriTool’s engineers collaborate closely with your team to understand your goals, shape a concept, develop a solution and deliver a product that performs with confidence.  From goals, to concept, to solution, our engineers collaborate with your team every step of the way.

When you're up against a complex machining challenge, don't settle for repurposing the wrong tool. Tri Tool’s configurable solutions are precision-built for your job, engineered for performance, and backed by over 50 years of innovation.
