Normac was incorporated in Northville, Michigan in January 1966. In the beginning, Normac manufactured twist drills in a converted two car garage. In 1968, Normac introduced an automatic drill point grinder, and within the next year discontinued drill manufacturing and concentrated on machine tool manufacturing. In 1970, Normac introduced an automatic drill clearance grinder and a cone point grinder, following with an automatic drill split point grinder for grinding special aircraft style drill points in 1971.
