James Tool has been engineering and building fixtures for almost 25 years. We take great pride in our ability to provide solutions for our customers.

We engineer in the latest 3-D Solid Works™ and then provide those detailed models to the shop for efficient and accurate programming through the use of MASTERCAM. Our build and test area is dedicated and well equipped to build the most complex hydraulic fixtures.

We engineer and build almost 300 fixtures each year. Most of our fixtures utilize high and low pressure hydraulics. Our fixtures are engineered and built for many industries including: Automotive, Medical, Transportation, Aerospace, and Heavy Truck.
