Until 2020 the Holdridge Manufacturing Co. manufactured metal lathe accessories, including radius-cutter kits (available with optional power drive), collet closers and bar feeders.

Holdridge Mfg. Co. was founded in 1956 by Warren Holdridge to manufacture the radii cutter that he had developed and patented to create convex or concave spherical forms. The company remained in the Holdridge family throughout its existence.

Information Sources

Travers Tool Co., Inc. sells cutters for Holdridge radii cutters but no longer sells the kits. So far as we are aware the kits are no longer manufactured by anyone.
The archive.org repository of the now-defunct HoldridgeMfg.com website provides a view of the company's product line between 2003 to 2020.
