Aaron M. Freeland of New York City standing with a huge planing machine. Aaron M. Freeland was the first machine tool maker in New York City. He was noted for his particularly heavy and well-made lathes and planers. His machines were strongly influenced by English designs. Being heavier and more precise than their typical American equivalents, they were favored by ship and engine builders. Freeland established his business in about 1845, operating as A. M. Freeland; in later years he also used the name Freeland Tool Works. In 1855 he relocated to Yonkers for a few months but returned to New York. He died sometime before 1884.
