After producing its own angle plates and work holding fixtures for more than a century, The C.A. Lawton Co. (Calco), a De Pere, WI-based foundry, pattern, and heavy manufacturing machine shop, will now offer these highest-quality products through a Calco-branded consumer product line being sold directly to machinists and fabricators. The new products will complement Calco’s core offerings and will be sold through an electronic store.

Calco’s integrated capabilities to provide a “total solution” lend well to the offering of its most recent branded line of industry products that include:

 

Direct Angle Plates

  • New, first operation machined
  • Produced in cast iron, which outperforms steel and most efficiently dampens machining harmonics

  • Weight: 800# – 2,800# ea.
