From the very beginning in 1969, All-Fill Inc. and Auger Fabrication offered two different set ups that became commonly referred to as small & large tooling. Both style involved many parts and came with limitations. As time passed, the name associated with the small tooling became “old style small” and the large tooling “old style large.”
