What is the Universal Tool & Engineering tooling system?
Universal Tool & Engineering supplies tooling under the American and European tooling. If your machine is already equipped with this system, replacement tools are specified to match it — the tang geometry, the working height and the retention method all have to agree, not just the nominal size.

How are Universal Tool & Engineering catalogue numbers structured?
Universal Tool & Engineering supplies American and European style tooling. Identification relies on measuring the tang and reading the tool markings rather than on a published number index.
- A catalogue number identifies the profile; it does not replace measuring the tool.
- Worn or reground tools keep their number but lose working height.
- Where a brand publishes an official decoding key, that key is authoritative — not third-party guesses at what the digits mean.
What should I send to identify a replacement?
If your catalogue number is not listed, send us the number together with a photograph of the tool and a ruler shot of the tang. We will confirm the system, angle, radius, height and segment length before you order.
- The catalogue number stamped or laser marked on the tool.
- The angle and tip radius, if legible.
- The working height from shoulder to tip.
- The total length and any segment combination.
- A photograph of the tool and of the tang with a ruler in shot.
