Sales, service and support are available for a complete range of tool presetters from Italian manufacturer Elbo Controlli. The line consists of six models: Larth, Sethy, Hathor, Kyan, Ankh and Amon Ra. All models incorporate a solid granite column and base, and tool inspection is a standard feature.
