ABOUT US
Byler Industrial Tool was founded almost two decade’s ago by Paul Byler where he began providing sharpening service’s for local customers in the Memphis, TN area. Over the years Byler Industrial Tool & Supply has built a reputation of consistency, commitment and value to the many customers it services in the woodworking, metal working and plastics industries.
Being a family owned and operated business is the cornerstone of our success and the driving force behind what we do. “The small things do not mean anything, they mean EVERYTHING”. This is the philosophy that has earned the trust of every customer we currently service and will secure in the future.
Continuing The Dutch Legacy
At our state-of-the-art facility in middle Tennessee, we provide industrial services for the wood, metal, and plastics industries—servicing and selling end mills, router bits, shaper cutters, saw blades, cold saws, spiral bits, and saw tooth geometries. We are continually investing in our sharpening capabilities, blending hands-on expertise with advanced CNC technology, including our UTMA P20 CNC for precision grinding of specialty inserts and moulder knives, as well as long-standing Vollmer CHX 840 and CHP machines. Customers can expect a noticeable improvement in the performance and longevity of their carbide-tipped tools when serviced on our machines.
MEET THE TEAM
In August 2021, Brad and Amy Van Haitsma stepped into the legacy of Byler Industrial Tool & Supply with a deep commitment to preserving the values that built its reputation—exceptional service, attention to detail, and a strong foundation of faith. Through BITZ LLC, the Van Haitsma family acquired both Byler Industrial Tool & Supply and Do-Cut Sharpening, continuing the tradition of a family-run business rooted in integrity and craftsmanship.
In an exciting development near the end of 2025, Byler expanded its reach through the acquisition of MTM Saw and Tooling in Memphis, TN—a respected operation led by Edgar Thompson for over 17 years. Edgar built MTM with the same dedication to quality and customer care that defines Byler’s mission. The Memphis business will continue to operate under the Byler name, strengthening our regional presence while honoring the legacy Edgar began.
Today, the Van Haitsmas work side by side as a family, dedicated to upholding the same God-centered principles that Paul Byler and his family established more than two decades ago. Byler Industrial Tool & Supply remains our operating name, and our mission remains unchanged: to serve our customers with excellence, humility, and care.
Byler Industrial Tool is the ONLY Freud Certified Sharpener in the state of Tennessee.
