Clico (Sheffield) Tooling Ltd. is the home of the world-renowned Clifton planes. From their small Sheffield based factory, Clico have been producing these high quality traditional style planes for many years. Clico's beginnings (some of their main products also include special aerospace tooling) was at Record Marples Tools, before making its way into the hands of Mr. A. Reid. It is now cared for in the same ways that all independent tool companies are, and they consider the needs of their customer's paramount to their progression. After working for many years in the tooling industry, Mr. Reid was appointed as The Master Cutler on behalf of The Company of Cutler's in Sheffield from Oct 2006 - Oct 2007. This is a privileged honoured to those who wish to serve and protect the rights of the use of the Sheffield name on products. This tradition has been acted upon since 1624 and attempted ways of regulating the cutlery industry that traditionally once boomed in Sheffield. Today, The Company of Cutlers provides a focus for the promotion and support of local manufacturing industries and businesses. At "The World of Woodworking" we are pleased to be supporting and also to be supported by the ideals of Clico (Sheffield) Tooling Ltd.
