Just in time for their debut at a major regional orthopedic show in Fort Wayne, Whitley County's Oak View Tooling, Inc. came out with their own widget -- showing they are, indeed, on the cutting edge of their industry.
The company has created their own free app (application) and launched it in Apple's App Store. From an iPod or an iPad, potential or existing customers can go to the app store, search for "Oak View Tool." Once loaded, the app can be used for a variety of helpful purposes.
"We have also included a built-in feeds and speeds calculator," said Matthew Dahms, president of Oak View Tooling, Inc. on Tuesday. "This calculator helps determine the correct feed rates and RPMs to run our tools in the customer’s materials."
"As far as I know, we are one of the first or the very first cutting tool manufacturer to offer an app," said Dahms.
Oak View Tooling, Inc. is located at 724 East Swihart Street in Columbia City.
Oak View Tooling, Inc. will exhibit at the fifth annual Orthopedic Design & Technology (ODT) conference and exhibition September 22-23 at the Grand Wayne Convention Center in Fort Wayne. They invite interested companies to visit them at booth 310.
