He moved north to work for RTW and Iscar where he managed
Washington, Oregon and Western Canada for the many aerospace applciations in that area. In 2012 he moved back to the Bay area to manage Northern California for Tungaloy. 

David also brings first hand experience as a distributor from his time at J&L Industrial Supply and Aronson-Campbell Industrial Supply as a carbide application engineer.  He has a deep understanding of what the expectations are of a industrial distributor from a manufacturer.  

David also has an inside knowledge of the expectations of a machine tool dealer from his time back in the late 1980's working at Selway Machine Tools. 
David Edge Helen
David and Helen live in Pleasanton,  CA.

He has three children and four grandchildren.

In his spare time he enjoys martial arts, cycling and target shooting. 
Please welcome David to our team. He can not only help run tools at the CNC Spindle, but he can also bridge the gap between the manufacturer and Industrial distributor as well as the the gap between the manufacturer and machinery dealer.

Picture
Allied Machine has just announced their newest product line, the APX™ Drilling System!! The APX is designed for depths beyond the range of a traditional IC drill. 

Allied's APX™ delivers the strength and versatility needed for any deep hole drilling application. The APX™ geometry is designed to increase penetration rates and tool life, providing the lowest cost per hole among deep hole drilling lines.
Some new Features:
  1. Available in C1 or C5 carbide grades with AM300® coating for maximum performance
  2. Provides excellent chip control, improved durability and added stability
  3. Available in 5xD, 8xD & 10xD
  4. Utilizes Standard GEN3SYS® and T-A® Inserts
  5. Diameter Range: 1.500 - 4.000" (38.00 - 101.6mm)


The APX™ Drill uses the GEN3SYS® or T-A® pilot insert to stabilize the tool through the cut, and outboard carbide inserts to achieve the final cutting diameter, allowing for higher spindle speeds and taking advantage of the power curve on modern CNC machines for maximum penetration rates on deep holes
