Understanding the Smart Tool Number

The Fullerton Smart Tool numbering system can be very daunting at first glance. We want to make it easier on you and break it down so you can get a better understanding. First we will go through our non-standard, or special, products. These are our Z# Descriptions.

The first two digits are the code for the type of tool.

Digits 3-6 indicates the series of tool (GDRL used for G-drills).

 

 

 ZF1585D375008176WREV

Digits 7-11 are the diameter, “D” represents a decimal place and means the tool is under 1”, a number here means the tool is over 1”. For step tools, the smallest diameter is to be used.

 

 

ZF1585D375008176WREV

Digits 12-16 are the date. “08” is the year, “176” is the day of the year.

 

 

 ZF1585D375008176WREV

Digit 17 indicates who created the number; each person charged with creating numbers has a set of numbers or letters assigned to them.

 

 

ZF1585D375008176WREV

Digits 18-20 are for revision levels.

Blank = original or no revision

A, B, C = revision level

Add X1 for test revision

_99 = regrind
