CNC Tooling for Glass Fabrication

Forvet Tooling for Francesca and Chiara Machines

CNC Tooling Options That Match Your Machine’s Potential

Not every CNC tooling option on the market is made with glass fabrication in mind. Many tools are designed for metals or wood and then marketed as multi-purpose, which means they wear faster, cut less cleanly, and create more rework when used on glass. 

Matodi’s CNC tooling options are different because they’re purpose-built for flat glass applications from the ground up.

From diamond-tipped core drills that slice through tempered panels to shaped routers that deliver smooth, polished edges on complex profiles, each tool in our catalog has been selected for its durability, consistency, and performance under real production conditions. 

These aren’t showroom samples; they’re the same tools that glass fabrication shops rely on day in and day out to meet tight deadlines and demanding quality standards.

Our Product Lineup

Matodi’s CNC tooling catalog covers the full range of operations your shop needs to run efficiently. Here’s what we carry:

• Core Drills: Designed for clean, accurate holes in flat glass, our core drills handle everything from standard hardware cutouts to specialty configurations. They’re built for extended tool life, even on tempered surfaces.
• Milling and Shaped Routers: When your project calls for edge profiling, notching, or intricate shapes, these routers deliver the finish your customers expect. Available in a variety of profiles for different glass thicknesses and edge styles. Explore our full milling tools selection.
• Powercore Drills and Countersinks: Perfect for applications that demand both a drilled hole and a countersunk seat in one pass, saving cycle time without sacrificing accuracy.
• Forvet Tooling for Francesca and Chiara Machines: If you’re running Forvet CNC equipment, we carry the exact tooling specified for Francesca and Chiara machine models, so you get the fit and performance those machines were designed to deliver.

Each of these product categories is stocked and ready to ship, because we know that when a tool wears out on the production floor, every hour of downtime costs money.

Why the Right Tooling Changes Everything

There’s a real difference between a glass shop that tolerates its tooling and one that trusts it.

When your tools are matched to your materials, your machines, and your production goals, the results show up everywhere: cleaner edges, fewer rejects, less downtime for tool changes, and operators who can focus on throughput instead of babysitting a cut.

Cheap or ill-fitting tooling might save a few dollars upfront, but it costs more in the long run through wasted material, rework, and shortened machine life. 

Matodi works with fabricators who understand that tooling is an investment in output quality, not just a line item on a purchase order.

We’ve partnered with leading tooling manufacturers to make sure every product we offer has been tested in production environments. That means you’re getting tools backed by real-world data, not just spec sheets.
