Thirty years ago Smithy Tools developed and popularized the 3-in-1 benchtop lathe mill combo. The engineers at Smithy Tools wanted a a compact combo tool to sit on a benchtop  They also wanted Smithy tools to have the quality and functionality of a production lathe.  Now there are nearly 30,000 combo Smithy tools in workshops across America.  Every day machinists and independent craftsmen go to work on their "Bench Top Machine Shop”.  Smithy Granite combo machines are used extensively in school vocational labs and training facilities. Contractors to the US military have applied Granite machines to mobile machine shops. Smithy Tools are used to make and repair parts in thousands of different settings. Smithy machines are guaranteed to make money and save money - for owners who will put thier machine to work.

Before Smithy started the company founders were operating a John Deere farm machinery dealership. The experience of working with a company like John Deere provided the foundation for a strong organization.  We learned how to design, manufacture, and sell high quality machine tools.  The first machines we developed at Smithy Tools were small combo tools that fit small shop and garage settings. Smithy machines are designed to last a lifetime.  These machines provide quality and ease-of-use features that Smithy owners appreciate. tTe product line has expanded to include a variety of custo-built machine tools that fit advanced applications.
