FL Smithe XB
Tooling for the XB
If it’s a wheel, a blade or a rib that touches paper or board — we can make it.
Tech-ni-Fold manufactures precision finishing tooling — 45,000+ tools running in 79 countries over 25 years. Alongside our patented systems, we engineer and machine components to order for finishing machinery of every kind, including machines like the XB.
Precision rotary tooling is what we do
Creasing ribs, scoring wheels, perforating blades, slitting knives, blade holders, anvils and custom shaft components — designed and machined in-house in the UK, by the company that invented and patented rotary creasing.
Engineered to order
Most of what we make started as somebody's problem, not a catalogue page. Send us the part, the drawing, or just the job that's going wrong, and our engineers will tell you straight whether we can make it better, sharper or cheaper.
OEMs buy from us already
Machine manufacturers source blades, holders and finishing components from us under their own part numbers. If you build or maintain machines, you get a supplier who actually understands why the part is shaped the way it is.
