Nakahashi Seisakusho Co.,Ltd

We have produced various kind of blade for wood machine since 1955.

NAKAHASHI SEISAKUSHO CO., LTD. (which means NAKAHASHI MANUFACTURING CO., LTD. in Japanese) was founded in 1955 in Miki-city, known as "The Hardware City" in western part of Japan. The city of Miki has a rich history of over 400 years, manufacturing carpenter tools such as hand saws, chisels, and hand planers. On our foundation, we had set our focus on machine tools, differenciating ourselves from other companies while utilizing the location advantages. We currently maintain 2 factory locations within the city of Miki, enploying about 50 employees.

Our main products include HOLLOW SQUARE MORTICE CHISELS & BITS, POWER PLANER BLADES, and GROOVING CUTTERS. All of these products are supplied to the major Japanese powertool manufacturers such as MAKITA, HITACHI, and RYOBI while distributed throughout Japan with our own N.H. and STAR-M brands. As the result, we maintain dominant market share for these product categories in Japan. At the same time, these products are exported to more than 20 countries throughout the world including Asia, North America, and Europe, obtaining excellent reputation and support from the most demanding professional and industrial users.

We take pride and commit ourselves in manufacturing ONLY the highest quality tools. We believe that best quality only stems from combination of product disign, select materials, manufacturing standards that are backed by the experience and know-how, and most importantly, the desire to offer the perfect tools for the end customers. Our disire to offer the perfect tools permeates every stage of our manufacturing process. This process begins with selection of raw materials. With close cooperation with one of the leading steel makers in Japan, we select the best material for each tool we manufacture. We even request for materials with special composition to be supplied spcially for us. This is because we believe that perfect products can only come from the perfect materials. There is no way of hiding the origin, even after the the production is completed and cosmetics have been put on. For all our products, the entire production process is carried out in our own factories by our own engineers and technicians. This is the only way we can truly maintain the quality standard at the level we feel we need to maintain. Also, most of the machineries employed at our factories are either made by us or taylor made for us, so that we can reflect our manufacturing know-how and experience in our produciton system. Heat teatment is of vital importance to the quality of cutting tools. Among the materials we utilize for our products, HSS is a very delicate material. Quality of the finished product rely heavily on the quality of the heat treatment. In order to ensure the best hardness and uniformity for each tool, we carry out heat treatment process in our own facilities with highest quality control standard. Grinding process is also vital in ensuring sharp and smooth cutting angle on the tools. We take time in this grinding process even though it is costly, because the quality of the cutting lips will determin the cutting quality as well as the tools' service life. Where it is important, we apply mirror finish to ensure the best results and added value for our users. It is our desire and committment to our cutomers that we will supply ONLY THE BEST QUALITY tools we can possibly manufacture and will never compromise, so that the dealers and users of our tools can rest assured that he or she is handling or using THE BEST.
