ATA Engineering Products Ltd
Established in 1963 in Hemel Hempstead, UK, ATA has evolved from a specialist in aerospace tooling into a comprehensive provider for the CNC sector. We cover industries from woodworking and plastics to high-performance automotive manufacturing. With independent owners, Mark Whitbread and Graham Warren, ATA has the freedom to offer a diverse range of products. Assisted by the energetic sales team of Adam English and Sharon Green, ATA can offer a vital link to the manufacturing supply chain.
ATA Engineering’s CNC offer an extensive range of router cutters. These are not merely tools, but engineered solutions designed to withstand the high-speed demands of modern spindles. Our inventory includes solid carbide, high-speed steel (HSS), and polycrystalline diamond (PCD) tipped cutters. Each tool is tailored for specific materials; for instance, the specialised honeycomb and composite cutters are essential for aerospace manufacturers working with carbon fiber and light alloys.
Complementing our cutting tools is a selection of collets and tool holders. Understanding that a cutter is only as effective as the grip that holds it, ATA provides high-precision collet systems, such as the ER series (ER16, ER25, ER32), which are industry standards for securing bits in CNC spindles.
ATA Engineering is more than a simple hardware supplier; we are a technical partner to the CNC industry. By providing high-quality router cutters, precision collets, and advanced aerospace-grade lubricants, we equip manufacturers with the tools necessary to push the boundaries of modern engineering. Our long-standing commitment to innovation and technical support continues to make us a vital link in the global manufacturing supply chain.
ATA are the exclusive agents for Boelube, a range of space-age lubricants developed by Boeing. These lubricants are critical in the CNC sector for reducing heat and friction during the machining of titanium and other exotic metals, thereby protecting both the workpiece and the expensive tooling.
Craig Tools International, a long‑established UK supplier and manufacturer of tools for the aerospace, automotive, military, and industrial sectors, became part of ATA Engineering Products Limited in late 2022. The integration of Craig Tools into ATA strengthened the combined group’s product range, technical support offering, and ability to serve customers across the UK and Europe.
