HISTORY
Phillips Tool Co. was established in Jefferson, IN in 1959 by Ted Phillips, specializing in tool & die manufacturing for local industry. In 1962 Ted began sharpening saw blades and welding band saw blades, extending manufacturing capabilities. Current President, Jeff Chynoweth, joined Ted in 1981 after honorably serving in the US Navy and marrying Ted's daughter, Kathy Phillips, in 1979. After 26 years of leading Phillips Tool Co., Ted passed away in 1985.
Between 1985 and 1988, Jeff shifted the focus from tool & die manufacturing to concentrate on servicing and manufacturing circular saw blades and band saw blades. In 1989, Phillips Tool Co. officially became Phillips Saw & Tool (PSAWS). Now, Jordan Chynoweth, a third generation, has become actively involved in operations. PSAWS continues to honor founding principles while striving to improve sawing operations for future generations. Today, PSAWS operates its 12,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in Frankfort, Indiana.
