Complete Cutting Tool & Pneumatic Tooling Portfolio
Our tooling programs are built around the exact geometric standards, substrate requirements, and access limitations encountered in modern aircraft maintenance and assembly lines.
Aircraft Drilling & Threaded Shank Tools
M42/M35 Cobalt HSS and Solid Carbide drills with 135° self-centering split points. Full coverage of NAS 965 Type D threaded shank drills, double margin drills, and aircraft extension drills (6", 12", 24" OAL) engineered to prevent work-hardening in hard alloys.
Hole Sizing, Countersinking & Deburring
Precision HSS and carbide chucking reamers, piloted threaded reamers, chatterless countersinks, microstop depth cages, and rivet shavers. Engineered to hold surface finishes and strict micro-inch depth tolerances required for flush fastener installation.
Composite & Modular Pneumatic Tooling
Solid carbide brad point and dagger drills designed to eliminate delamination in CFRP/titanium stacks. Complete system support for Nova® pneumatic air motors, 45°/90°/360° angle heads, and Cleco temporary sheet metal fastening tools.
High-Performance Tooling for Advanced Aerospace Alloys
Tool failure or improper geometry during airframe assembly can result in costly scrap parts, delamination, or AOG (Aircraft On Ground) delays. Pan American Tool optimizes substrates, flute geometry, and surface treatments for specific airframe materials.
Aerospace Metals & Structural Alloys
Aluminium Alloys (2024, 7075, 7050): High-helix geometries and polished flutes prevent built-up edge (BUE) and maintain tight hole roundness during manual or automated drilling.
Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) & Inconel®: Heavy-duty web construction with M42 cobalt steel retains hardness at elevated temperatures, delivering constant tool pressure without chip welding.
Stainless & High-Strength Steels: Double margin drills support the cutting head against the hole wall, delivering reamer-like finishes in a single drilling pass.
Composite Laminates & Hybrid Stacks
Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers (CFRP): Specialized brad-point and diamond-coated carbide router bits shear composite fibers cleanly on entry and exit, preventing fiber pull-out and resin degradation.
CFRP / Titanium Stack-Ups: Dagger drill geometries manage differential expansion between composite top skins and metallic substructures, allowing single-shot hole production without coolants or delamination.
Why International Procurement Officers Standardize on Pan American Tool
Same-Day Order Dispatch
Our real-time computerized inventory system tracks more than 5 million tooling parts. In-stock orders are packed, documented, and shipped same-day to minimize tool-crib downtime.
Global Export Compliance
Decades of experience handling international customs clearance, commercial invoices, certificates of conformance (CoC), and reliable air freight shipping to 200+ nations.
Custom Stocking Programs
We work directly with airline tool cribs, MRO inventory managers, and distributor partners to structure vendor-managed inventory (VMI) and scheduled blanket release programs.
