Custom Tooling Solutions

Custom Fixtures, Workholding Devices & Specialized Tooling

Engineered In-House

At Essex Bay Engineering, we don’t just use tools—we design and build them from scratch when the job demands it. Whether you need a custom fixture, a workholding solution, or a purpose-built tool that doesn’t yet exist, our team can take your idea from napkin sketch to finished product—all under one roof.

Tooling is its own form of manufacturing, and we treat it with the same rigor as production parts. With deep experience in 3D modeling, 5-axis CNC machining, and tight-tolerance prototyping, we’re equipped to engineer complex tools with precision and speed. Our tooling solutions often support internal processes but are also available to clients who need unique, high-performance fixtures for assembly, machining, or inspection.
