Herman “Red” King
Invented the KING-WAY alignment instrument and the cast-iron straightedges that set the standard for measuring machine geometry — the tools that made repeatable precision possible.
Richard King
Carried the family craft from the bench to the world. As the first commercial machine-scraping instructor in the United States, Richard turned a closely-guarded trade into a school open to any serious machinist.
50+ Years On
Roughly 20,000 students trained and a 30-year partnership with Taiwan’s TAMI & PMC. The King method is still taught the only way it can be — bench to bench, by hand — nationwide and international.
