Test Tool Policy

At Destiny Tool we WANT you to test our tools!  

When customers test our tools we want to insure that it's the right tool for the right application.  We DO NOT give away free tools for testing.  

We recognize that many end mill manufacturers do indeed give away tools to 'test'.  We are not one of them. 

All of our production and quality control teams take great pride to insure that every tool is made to our very high standards and we are all very confident that the tools will work. 

We've been doing it long enough to know that, in most cases, we are getting 2-3 times the tool life and at least double the chip load and double the depth of cut when compared to most all of our competitors. 
Price to Performance
At the end of the day, the company that has the most parts and the biggest filled chip bins wins. We have priced out tools to be competitive with many of the commodity end mill manufacturers because, frankly, we make a fair margin and want to support the manufacturing base in our economy. We could charge more based upon the performance data but we don't. We want you to be successful. That's why we have a very strong trial policy.  Our tools are designed to be run at elevated feed rates to to take advantage of our geometry.  The biggest problem we have face is customers running them TOO SLOW or at to light of a chip load.  That is why we love testing. 

Below is our test tool policy and also how you CAN get FREE tools.

Would you like to get FREE Destiny Tool tools?

We have a pretty rigid test tool policy as you can see on the left.  But, we recognize that we operate in a very small industry.  "Trust", "Loyalty" and "Partnership" are not words from a bygone era but something we strongly believe in and support. Our products are designed to fill a very specific niche of material applications. We believe and value "word of mouth" marketing.

There are THREE ways:

One*
  1. Submit your report of SUCCESSFUL tests to us!
  2. Provide Destiny Tool with video and/or 5-10 pictures which can be used for our Blog and Social Media marketing. We will provide full attribution to you company as well!
