Invert-A-Bolt Products | Elijah Tooling, Inc.

Elijah Tooling is a North Texas manufacturing company that specializes in bringing lean tooling solutions and standardization to mid-size to large manufacturers, especially in the Aerospace segment.

Our product line is centered around modular tooling fixtures that incorporate 6 basic features - the patented Invert-A-Bolt™ fastener, multi-purpose locator holes, hold down locations, plate to sub-plate locator, lift holes and row/column designators. This simple, yet efficient fixture is used to eliminate dedicated fixturing, while vastly improving setup times and providing great flexibility in producing low quantity, high-mix, aerospace parts.

In addition to our signature modular fixtures, we provide the components that are used with and in these fixtures so that our customers are empowered to make their own fixtures if desired. By means of our web-site, www.invert-a-bolt.com, we supply extensive information to our customers and prospects in the creation of these fixtures as well as providing CAD models for most of our offerings.

Our products are primarily found in the tooling of complex aerospace parts machined on high-speed, horizontal machines. Thanks to the small footprint and high holding power of the Invert-A-Bolt™ fastener, Manufacturers opt for this type tooling to create the most stable holding solution available with a minimal risk of damage to the high-speed spindles in their machines.

Although we are a small manufacturer, we have supplied workholding systems to some of the largest companies in the world. Our largest customer is Bombardier Aerospace (C-Series), followed by Heroux Devtek (JSF), Hawker Beechcraft and GKN Aerospace (UCAV).

In addition, we supply tooling for Boeing aircraft via Spirit Aerosystems (787), Primus International, and Contour Aerospace. We also supply tooling for smaller aircraft, such as Cessna and Gulfstream (G650).
