About Fullerton Tool
Fullerton Tool Company was founded in 1942 by Morgan A. Curry in Saginaw, Michigan, and remains in the same location today as the only facility in the world that manufactures Fullerton brand solid carbide cutting tools. The company has stayed family-owned across three generations, now under the stewardship of Patrick and Mathew Curry.
Fullerton Tool specializes in solid carbide cutting tools and PCD-tipped tooling, with end mills as its top-selling product category alongside drills, reamers, burrs, saws, keyseat cutters, and custom tooling built to customer specifications. The company operates from a 40,000-square-foot facility and runs an internal research and development lab to troubleshoot cutting problems and develop new tooling solutions for its customers.
Fullerton Tool's cutting tools serve a wide range of industries including aerospace, automotive, firearms, heavy equipment, medical, mold and die, power generation, and recreational and small engine manufacturing. This breadth across demanding, precision-driven sectors reflects the company's focus on solving specific machining challenges rather than offering only catalog-standard tooling.
