Whether you're producing custom designs or small-batch collections, our comprehensive solutions help you create eyewear that combines durability, functionality, and aesthetic appeal. Browse the products below or explore the individual categories to find the tools that best suit your needs.
CNC MILLING
CNC milling is a cornerstone of precision in eyewear production, where raw materials are transformed into intricately designed frames with exceptional accuracy. At SMALL BATCH TOOLS, our CNC MILLING EQUIPMENT is engineered to deliver precise, consistent results, ensuring every cut and contour meets the highest standards of quality. Our milling machines are specifically designed to handle the complexities of eyewear manufacturing, from creating detailed frame shapes to preparing components for perfect assembly. By utilizing advanced technology and optimized processes, our CNC milling solutions ensure that each frame is crafted with unparalleled precision, resulting in eyewear that is both visually stunning and comfortable to wear. Whether you are producing bespoke designs or small-scale batches, our equipment supports your craftsmanship, helping you achieve excellence in every piece.
SIDE WIRE INSERTING
Side wire insertion is an essential step in the construction of durable and flexible eyewear. This process involves embedding a metal wire into the acetate temples, providing the necessary strength and flexibility for lasting wear. The precision of this insertion is critical to the overall quality of the eyewear, ensuring that the frames maintain their structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. At SMALL BATCH TOOLS, our SIDE WIRE INSERTION EQUIPMENT is designed to streamline this process, ensuring that the wires are securely and accurately placed within the temples. This precision enhances the durability of the frames while offering customization options, allowing you to innovate with confidence in your own workshop.
SHAPING
Shaping is a critical step in eyewear manufacturing, refining frames after CNC cutting to ensure they meet the highest standards of quality and fit. This process involves smoothing the frames to remove tool marks, creating a precise V-shaped bevel for lens placement, and carefully preparing the temples and nose pads. These steps are essential to achieving a perfect fit, enhancing the frame's structural integrity, and improving its visual appeal. Our SHAPING TOOLS are designed to support this meticulous process, whether you focus on bespoke frame making or batch production. We provide specialized tools that ensure every detail is crafted with precision, resulting in high-quality, functional eyewear that meets the demands of both comfort and style.
FORMING
The forming process is where flat acetate sheets are transformed into three-dimensional frames, giving life to the eyewear's design. This stage involves carefully heating and bending the acetate to achieve the desired shape and fit, ensuring that each frame not only looks great but also feels comfortable to wear. Our FORMING TOOLS are crafted to make this process precise and efficient, allowing for consistent shaping that aligns with the natural contours of the face. These tools help ensure that every curve and angle of the frame is perfectly executed, resulting in eyewear that seamlessly combines style with ergonomic comfort.
HINGE INSTALLATION & FRAME ASSEMBLY
The hinge installation and frame assembly process is vital for ensuring that all components of the eyewear fit together securely and align perfectly. SMALL BATCH TOOLS offers specialized equipment designed to achieve flawless connections between the frame fronts and temples, ensuring a precise lug connection and seamless hinge integration. This precision is essential, particularly in small-scale production, where every detail matters. Our HINGE INSTALLATION & FRAME ASSEMBLY TOOLS are engineered to eliminate gaps and misalignments, resulting in a perfect fit that enhances both the durability and aesthetic appeal of the eyewear. Whether you’re working on custom designs or batch production, our tools provide the accuracy and reliability needed to produce high-quality frames that are built to last.
BARRELLING
Barrelling is an essential technique in the eyewear finishing process, known for its efficiency and ability to deliver consistently outstanding results. SMALL BATCH TOOLS offers specialized equipment tailored for a two-phase barrelling approach using durable hardwood media to achieve a flawless finish. The first phase employs hardwood pegs and natural volcanic pumice to smooth out acetate frames, removing significant scratches and preparing them for polishing. The second phase uses hardwood cubes combined with a fine polishing paste to create a radiant gloss, enhancing the frame's colors and visual appeal. This structured approach ensures a thorough and high-quality finish, elevating the overall craftsmanship of the eyewear. For an even more lustrous, high-gloss finish, an optional third stage can be added, further distinguishing the eyewear with a superior shine.
POLISHING
Polishing marks the final touch in eyewear production, where frames are given a radiant finish that highlights their design and craftsmanship. SMALL BATCH TOOLS offers compact polishing solutions to ensure a flawless result every time. Our POLISHING EQUIPMENT is specifically designed to enhance the natural beauty of acetate frames, leaving each piece with a luminous shine and a smooth, premium feel. Using optimized machinery and high-quality compounds, our polishing process effectively removes imperfections and brings out the full depth and richness of the acetate's color. This approach ensures that every pair of glasses undergoes a transformation into a true work of art, showcasing the dedication to excellence that defines SMALL BATCH TOOLS.
