Why Aftermarket?

Same quality. Less money.
Way less waiting.

You've been ordering changeparts from your machine manufacturer since day one. Here's why that might not be your best option anymore.

The Math

Where your money actually goes.

OEM pricing includes the overhead of an entire machine manufacturing operation — sales teams, global offices, R&D on new equipment. You're paying for all of that every time you order a set of changeparts. Aftermarket suppliers focus on one thing, which means less overhead and lower prices for the same quality parts.

Beyond Price

Five reasons it's not just about the money.

01

You talk to the people who build your parts.

No call centers, no ticket systems, no waiting 3 days for an email reply. When you call Lincoln Toolworks, you're talking to the engineers and machinists who will actually make your tooling. Questions get answered in minutes, not weeks.

02

Nothing gets made until you approve the drawings.

We produce full engineering drawings for every order and submit them for your written approval before anything goes to the shop floor. If something needs to change, we change it. No surprises, no assumptions.

03

We work from your samples, not just spec sheets.

Send us 200 carton blanks and your existing parts. We'll reverse-engineer to exact dimensions, verify against your machine model, and produce tooling that fits like the originals — or better, if the originals had issues.

04

8–10 weeks, not 12–20.

When your line needs parts, every week matters. We're a focused operation without the bureaucracy of a multinational. Your order gets scheduled fast, manufactured without delays, and shipped on time.

05

We're not done until your line is running.

We offer on-site installation support because we know that getting the parts is only half the job. We'll be there to supervise installation, dial in the setup, and commission the first production run. We don't ship and disappear.

The best time to try aftermarket was last year. The second best time is your next order.
