The Original Tube Tool Company

In September 1892, an inventor and manufacturer named Gustav Wiedeke began a small manufacturing business in a modest building at the rear of his Dayton, Ohio home. Today, over 100 years later, Wiedeke Dayton has become Elliott Tool Technologies Ltd. due to Mr. Wiedeke’s efforts.

The Wiedeke business continued to operate as a family enterprise for the next 32 years. By this time, Wiedeke products had earned a worldwide reputation for excellence in the industries they served. Wiedeke tools were innovative enough to be covered by various patents and trademarks.

In 1916, William Elliott also recognized the need and opportunity in the industry for efficient tube cleaning equipment. Operating plants in both Ohio and Pennsylvania, the company went through several company name iterations (Lagonda Springfield and Elliott Springfield) and eventually became known as the Elliott Company. By the late 1960’s, Elliott Company also enjoyed a worldwide reputation for its cleaning and turbo-machinery products. And in 1969, acquired the Gustav Wiedeke Company.

Today we are a private company known as Elliott Tool Technologies, boasting self directed work teams, exceptional customer service and a continued commitment to produce tube tools of which Gustav Wiedeke and William Swan Elliott would be proud.

Mechanical Joining Tools

Mechanical Joining is a process used to join tubular elements to fittings or flanges by roller expanding or swaging. The joint created is far superior to welded or brazed joints. Elliott Mechanical Joining Tools have a wide range of applications in aerospace, hydraulics, automotive and other industrial applications.

Ellip-Deburr Tools

The Ellip-Deburr tool is an excellent tool for deburring holes on curved or elliptical edge surfaces. With its spring loaded and self centering pilot the tool produces an even chamfer around the circumference of the hole. The Ellip-Deburr is a proven tool for deburring oil holes in crankshafts.

Back Chamfering Unit

The BCU is an excellent tool for machining back chamfers from the front side of the component. The tool eliminates deflection by piloting in the component bore and is very repeatable because it actuates off of the face of the component. The standard cutters produce a 45 degree chamfer angle but special angles and radii are available on request.

Internal Recessing Unit

The Internal Recessing Unit (IRU) is the most efficient method of machining single or multiple grooves in one operation. The Elliott IRU is recognized as a “best in class” tool for machining metering lands in hydraulic valve bodies.
