About Benchmark Tooling
Est 2015

Born and bred under the sunny skies of California. Chris and Steve met in college at Cal Poly SLO. Coming from a background of competitive bike racing, frame building caught their eye.  BENCHMARK TOOLING is  the culmination of two engineers sharing a common interest of frame building. We strive to bring professional grade tools to individuals looking to minimize expenses and get building sooner!

Benchmark Tooling is vertically integrated hosting a fleet of CNC vertical and horizontal machining centers in addition to CNC turning centers. We believe in end to end quality and we don't farm parts out in order to give our customers the best in class experience.  

Designed, manufactured, and assembled in the U.S.A. by Americans.
