Glaser Hitec Engineering is the second generation of a company started by worldwide known engineer, woodturner and toolmaker Mr. Jerry Glaser, which was both far-reaching and visionary in the wood turning community.  Jerry was following a dream when he produced the finest wood turning tools the world had ever known.  For over half a century, Glaser turning tools are legendary for their edge holding ability, quality of construction and ability to outlast any other turning tool.

With Glaser Hitec Engineering, the legend lives on.  We have acquired all rights to continue the production of Glaser tools and have introduced the next generation of wood turning products.  Out tools are manufactured “in house” at our west coast facility, under very strict quality control.  Our engineering and production staff, are absolutely committed to produce the best turning tools available today.  Our designs and innovations will clearly set a new standards in the industry.

Glaser Hitec Engineering is totally committed to serving the wood turning community with the highest quality, longest lasting and the most innovative designs in turning tools.

Our tools are currently being manufactured by Advanced Theoretical Concepts, Inc. Our west coast facility is located in Camarillo, California. It showcases 10,000 square feet of state of the art HAAS CNC equipment. For the past 20 years, ATC has been a leader in the development and engineering of precision components for Deep Space Exploration, Military, Medical and Electronic Industries, using the latest technology in digital systems, computer-aided design and state of the art automation.

Its main core in the specialization of sophisticated precision parts. It is with great pride that we now manufacture the Glaser Hitec tool line.

In 2003 ATC manufactured actuators, gimbals and DV motors for the Mars 2003 Twin Rovers.

Through the years, ATC has developed stringent criteria of quality assurances in order to provide parts that are accurate and true to print, which in turn reduces cost and increases customer satisfaction. We now apply the same stringent criteria to the production of our woodturning tools and accessories. These implemented procedures only cement the already established methods that Jerry Glaser has developed throughout the years. We are continually monitoring and improving our processes to meet our customer requirements. We strive to provide high-quality parts. That’s how we are able to deliver state of the art woodturning tools.

The adoption of HAAS CNC centers was a calculated move for the development of our tools and also to attend the quality and precision demands of our aerospace customers. Only 15 minutes away from our facility, the strategic partnership we have developed with HAAS Automation in Oxnard and HAAS Factory Outlet in Torrance, California has literally propelled our facility to a completely new quality level.

The integration of our HAAS Super Speed machining centers with our Brown & Sharpe Gage 2000 CMM enables the implementation of accurate quality control procedures.
