About Cutting Tools

Solid milling tools are highly accurate cutting tools used in various industries to remove material and create the desired shapes and surface finishes. Made from high-speed steel or solid carbide, these milling tools come in different geometries, such as square end mills, slitting saws, corner radius end mills, and dovetail cutters, each designed for specific milling tasks. Cutting tools provide essential accuracy and efficiency in aerospace, automotive, mold and die, and general engineering industries.


If you want to create precise holes in your workpieces, look at our holemaking cutting tools. We offer individual twist drills, complete drill sets, and various types and sizes of reamers. These standard and specialized tools will remove material, guaranteeing accurate dimensions, smooth surface finishes, and tight tolerances. Don't compromise on quality - choose the best tools for the job.


Thread-forming tools are unique cutting tools designed to machine threads on workpieces. These threads enhance durability and prevent material breakage in the threaded area through thread-forming taps, thread-rolling dies, and thread-milling cutters. These cutting tools, highly valuable in various industrial applications, help to achieve precise and consistent thread profiles.


Indexable milling bodies are essential tools used in machining. They have multiple cutting edges through indexable inserts, meaning machine operators can rotate or replace them once worn out. This feature makes them highly economical and efficient for large-scale milling operations. Indexable milling bodies are typically used in operations such as face, slot, and contour milling, among others. They are highly versatile in handling various materials, from metals to plastics.


Cutting tool inserts are replaceable bits or tips used with indexable milling bodies and lathe tools. These inserts have multiple cutting edges and can be rotated or replaced once a cutting edge becomes worn or damaged. They provide a fresher, sharper cutting edge at a lower cost and greater precision than traditional tools. Inserts are typically made from carbide, ceramics, diamond, or cubic boron nitride, with each material suitable for specific machining tasks based on hardness, heat resistance, and workpiece material.


Cutting tools are vital in our industrial processes, from milling landing gear components for the aerospace industry to turning shafts for automotive parts. The broad range of tooling and their numerous applications highlight their significance. By understanding the various types and advantages of specific cutting tools, you can make the correct choice for your needs and requirements. As your trusted industrial partner, MRO is here to offer our expertise and guidance in selecting cutting tools from reputable manufacturers that align with your requirements.
