We Win at the Spindle.

We're not your modern distributor. We're the one before they got acquired by a big-box.

We Don't Have a Massive Catalog. We have strategic partners, each with a purpose to make small businesses in manufacturing more productive and competitive. Think of Lloyd Gage as an extension of your business — in a world where the talent pool continues to grow more shallow, you need a partner who can help you do more with less. That's why we're continuing to raise our standards by giving you more human interaction to take on more and deliver measurable results.

Our team isn't built to take orders. We're here to solve problems. It's old-fashioned customer service, relationships with ownership to get things done, and a focus on actually creating value through getting you the right tool for the job.

Process Improvement

We start with the jobs that pay your bills — reviewing your existing tool list, testing new tooling where it makes sense, and driving down cost-per-part until there's nothing left on the table. Less setup time, less spent on tooling, more parts made — and we don't stop optimizing once we get there.

Tool Management

Your tool room, digitized. Every tool gets a location, min/max levels keep you stocked, and you can find what you need in seconds. We monitor. We restock. You don't stock out — and quarterly reviews keep your levels, costs, and standards dialed in as your usage changes.

Scrap Management

What the puck? If your shop makes a lot of chips, we've found you a new revenue stream. Briquetting turns chips into cash, reclaims your coolant, and can consolidate as many as twenty 55-gallon drums into one — meaning fewer freight trucks in and out of your lot.

Coolant Management

Environmentally and human-friendly coolants that optimize lubrication, cooling, and chip removal, backed by our partnership with Oemeta. Precise concentration readings, local inventory, and a team that never lets you run out.

Repair Management

Why buy new when you can restore for around 60% less? Through our partnership with the nation's largest tool repair company, CTS, we refurbish worn or damaged pocketed tooling, live tools, speeder heads, quick-change clamping units, and Swiss holders — plus spindles and chucks — at a fraction of replacement cost.

Machine Tracking & Part Count

Clip-on and stick-on monitors, no PLC integration, no drilling or splicing — most shops are up and running in under 20 minutes. See utilization, downtime, and failure warning signs before they cost you real money.

Machine Tool Accessories

Toolholders, rotary tables, presetters, workholding, and machine tending — the components that make everything else in your setup actually perform. Precision-built to improve your accuracy, efficiency, and productivity at the spindle.
