For more than a century, woodworking professionals have turned to CGG Schmidt for one simple reason: we know woodworking tools inside out, and that sets our service apart. When you call us, you don’t reach a call center — you talk directly to the seasoned experts in charge. Our dedicated Schmidt Sales Engineers bring well over 100 years of combined experience to every conversation, and that depth shows in the advice we give and the tools we build.

Expertise You Can Talk To

Our strength begins with people who truly understand the craft. We have expert skill in the engineering, design, and manufacturing of custom woodworking tools — and just as importantly, we understand the machines you run them on. Shapers, moulders, double-end tenoners, jointers, planers, haunchers, routers: we know how each one works and what it takes to get a clean, efficient result.

That knowledge translates into total service. We’ll recommend the right tool type, tip, and cutting angle for your specific machine so the job gets done efficiently and economically. You’re never left to figure it out alone — we partner with you to solve the problem in front of you.

Built for Your Unique Challenge

No two woodworking jobs are exactly alike, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Custom work is at the heart of what we do, so we excel at understanding and servicing the problems that don’t fit a catalog. Need a tool for an unusual requirement? We can manufacture tools for most woodworking machines to meet specifications others won’t touch.

In fact, CGG Schmidt offers the most versatile design and manufacture of wing cutters, shaper knives, and corrugated back knives in the business — with more combinations of standard corrugated back heads and knives than anyone else in the industry. Whatever you’re cutting, there’s a good chance we’ve already solved something like it, and if we haven’t, we’re ready to engineer it.

Getting started is easy. Send us your order, or simply send a picture of the shape you need by email, and we’ll take it from there with fast turnaround.

The Right Material for Any Wood

Different woods demand different tools. That’s why we offer S-Alloy, carbide-tipped, and solid steel tools designed to perform on any type of wood. And our materials expertise isn’t new — CGG Schmidt was the first to adapt S-Alloy for woodworking tools back in the early 1960s. Other companies followed our lead, but we’ve never stopped pushing the leading edge of innovation and high performance.

Precision Is the Promise

Accuracy isn’t a feature for us — it’s the foundation of everything we ship. We make our tools to precision tolerances to ensure extreme accuracy, using the latest CNC equipment for greater precision than ever before. Where requirements demand it, we check our tools with high-powered optical comparators to identify and correct even the smallest imperfections before a tool ever reaches your shop.

Let’s Solve It Together

From the first phone call to the finished tool, CGG Schmidt is the woodworking partner that combines a century of know-how with modern manufacturing precision. Tell us about your machine and your job — we’ll handle the rest.
