"Driven to Perform: Odenthal Manufacturing" written by Sean Burr

Coeur d’Alene, Idaho is not really on anyone’s radar as being a hotbed of manufacturing, but it should be. This lakeside resort community is a jewel in the Idaho panhandle with skiing and boating the main attractions. In a city of 60,000 people Forbes lists it inside their top twenty plac- es for small business and careers. It’s also where David Oden- thal grew up, started racing, and built his machining business.

Odenthal Manufacturing came about through David’s love of racing go karts and his dad’s automotive machining back- ground. “Growing up my brother and I raced karts,” explains David. “Dad had an automotive machining business in the local area and spent every penny he made putting my brother and I through racing. He wasn’t married so it was what we did together. We traveled all over the country on what was considered to be a small racing budget.”

​After graduating high school in 1986 David attended Northern Idaho College’s two year vocational machine tech program. After graduating in 1988 he got a job with MSM Design making various types of film equipment including IMAX cameras. That is where he got his first shot at designing. “Marty Mueller was my mentor and gave me a shot at designing a brand new film magazine” said David. He had a skill and love for both racing and making things, so in 1992 Keith Odenthal sold his automotive machine shop, teamed up with David, and Odenthal Manufacturing was born. Their first product was the Odenthal Racing Products engine mount for go karts. 

We've been asked to explain what exactly is a Double Variable Helix many many times.  Basically, the helix angle of an individual flute changes from a low helix to a high helix and in some cases to a super high helix as you follow the helix line up and individual flute.  In addition to that each flute has an incrementally different start which we define as a double variable helix or DVH.  Below is some detail on one of the patents of the DVH.

​BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Technical Field of the Invention
In general, the present invention relates to machining of a workpiece, More particularly, the present invention relates to end-mill tools for milling a workpiece and a related method.

Welcome!

We've spent a lot of time putting together our new website together just for you! We've tried to make it as interactive and as helpful as possible to machinist who need information at their fingertips right at their CNC Machine.  

1. The first thing you should look at is our HOMEPAGE <<< You'll notice that we've loaded it with links to our social media so you can contribute your stories, questions and insights into how-to get the most production increases and reduce cycle time in your shop!
   
2. The second thing you should check out is our QUICK LINKS mobile landing page. The entire website is designed for using it on a mobile phone! We've tried to make it easy for you to literally put your fingertips right on the answers to all of your questions as fast as possible!
   
3. In case you haven't noticed already, we've made everything hotlinked! We figured that since you're visiting us on a mobile device we shouldn't have to ask "where do I find out what they're talking about" so any time you see  something in bold type and highlighted, like "Tell me about ABOUT your company" you can just click on the bold colored link!

One of the biggest complaints we've heard in the past about cutting tool websites is that they all assume that everyone has the same level of technical knowledge.  We realize that some people know more than others just because they've got more experience. We've tried to put together a TECHNICAL section that answers many of the frequently-asked-questions as well as some of the more advanced application issues WE hear about on a weekly basis. Be sure to take  a look at the drop down menu's of technical information.  You may just be surprised what we've hidden on some of those pages!

If this is your first time hearing about Destiny Tool, then you should know what  we are NOT like everyone else who makes end mills.  We understand the details and we hope our new website depicts our attention to detail. We provide a niche solution for very specific materials and in-depth technical support.  You'll notice that we've used the ISO 513 standard for coding all of our tools and speed and feed charts. We where the FIRST manufacturer of end mills in the world to adopt this color coding schema when we introduced our 2012 catalog.

We offer a high performance product line for those companies that want to reduce cycle time and improve finishes first and foremost.  That's our goal.  Our SUBSTRATE, GEOMETRY, TOLERANCES and COATINGS are developed with specific materials groups in mind. As a result we provide solutions to the aerospace, defense, medical device, firearms, wafer manufacturing, auto racing, and cutting edge new product innovations. 

In closing, welcome YOU to our new website.  YOU are on the news feed.  The news tab is going to be ALL about YOU. We want YOUR feedback, We want YOUR input!  If you do nothing else please check out our TEST TOOL POLICY.  We WANT you to test our tools.  If you run them and fill out a TEST TOOL REPORT we'll give you the tools for free AND we'll post the result right here on our NEWS feed and help promote YOUR company. We want to share YOUR success stories and your experiences!  REQUEST A CONSULTATION today! Isn't it time to let everyone know how good you are?
