Thistle Tool Limited: Our company has been in the manufacturing business since 1972, and has steadily grown from a one-man operation in rented premises to our presently owned 10,000 sq. ft. building in north east Toronto.

Our Q.C. system, record keeping and highly skilled personnel have enabled us to specialize on repeat orders that require interchangeability with parts already in the field. This commitment insists that items we make, will immediately interchange and compliment existing onsite components, without the need for two-way shipping of the main assemblies or the loss of production from extended downtime.

Our established markets now cover aerospace, electronic, packaging, automotive and construction industries. In their requirements for research and developments, tooling and production.



THISTLE TOOL is one of the most comprehensive and fully integrated machine shops in the Toronto area. All computer programming is linked directly to each machine on the shop floor. This allows a quick and easy method for downloading data from the master system file, thus conserving valuable machine time.

THISTLE TOOL programmers prepare computer programs for the CNC lathes and CNC machining centers for turning, cutting, boring, contouring, drilling, grooving and threading. Complex 3D sculpted surfaces, multi-axis machining movements, wrapped geometric and complex design are precisely calculated. From customer provided blueprints, using 2D and 3D interactive CAD applications, shapes are defined, geometric constructed, toolpaths simulated, and tooling details defined. Data can be imported also from third party CAD system files.

All parts are QC-audited to the appropriate specifications before leaving our shop. THISTLE's Control/Inspection people and the NC programmer staff work together throughout the total machining process to ensure Total Quality Compliance.
