Mixed up holders
Two identical shrink holders on the rack. Do you de-shrink them to find out?
You know the problem
Every shop loses time the same three ways. None of it shows up on a job sheet, all of it shows up in the schedule.
Re-measuring heights
Nobody knows what is in the holder, so every setup starts with the touch-off you already did last week.
Reordering fumble
You need to restock end mills but have to dig through your email to find where you last got that tool.
New Add, manage, & label CNC tools
Stop hunting holders. Build the library once, keep specs with the tool, and print labels that match the tower on the machine.
- Add Import a CSV from a spreadsheet, ERP export, or Fusion tool list, or add tools one at a time. Each record gets a code the floor can scan.
- Manage Diameter, gauge length, brand, and location stay on the tool, not in a notebook.
- Label Print CNC Tool Tag labels, QR codes, and AirShop Codes that make edits or lookup super fast.
It's really this easy
So easy you'll be mad you waited.
Need more of that end mill? It's one tag scan away from reordering.
- Scan QR or AirShop Code opens the tool from the holder.
- Reorder All your ordering history is right there in AirShop.

Tower shows whats in the machine.
PDX CNC makes the patent-pending Edgeview tags and the Tool Tag Tower. AirShop keeps the library next to quotes and inventory, then prints the labels that snap on.
- Edgeview tags PETG, coolant-ready, taper-specific. Thermal labels snap on and read clean from the edge. Sold in packs of 25.
- Tool Tag Tower Super-magnet mount, rotate-to-view, one-handed with gloves on. The loaded tool set stays readable at the machine.

How to organize CNC tools
Coming soon
From rack to CAM, one library
Usage tracking is in development. You can already import a Fusion-style tool list as a CSV. Fusion sync is planned.
Shops already run this system
machinists follow PDX CNC for the tags, the tower, and the shop-floor workflow.
The real Edgeview Tool Tag is only from PDX CNC. AirShop prints the labels that fold onto it.
Designed, made, and shipped by the same shop that builds AirShop.
“I’m on my second batch of 100. The tags clearly label the tool assemblies in the racks and more importantly clearly label the tool set installed in the machine using the tool tag tower. Great system!”
Common questions
No. You do not need PDX CNC tags to use AirShop label management, and you do not need them to use the towers. AirShop prints the labels either way. Edgeview tags and the Tool Tag Tower are optional hardware if you want those labels easier to read on the holder and at the machine. Shop tags and towers at PDX CNC if you want them.
You can import a Fusion-style tool list as a CSV today. Fusion sync is planned.
A Dymo LabelWriter 450 or 550. Standard stock is 1 × 2.125 in. Tormach TTS uses 1 × 1.5 in.
Yes. Edgeview tags are printed in PETG, which stays flexible and holds up to flood coolant and washdown.
