Star Cutter provides custom-engineered drills, reamers and PCD tooling across a variety of tight tolerance and high precision applications. Our tooling solutions are marketed, sold and serviced by our Star SU LLC affiliate company.
We oversee the entire process from engineering through production of tools on our own machines, backed by application support and tool repair. We start the development of your tool by first understanding your feed, speed, material and cycle time.
From this, we can then select from a wide range of geometries, coolant holes, carbide grades and coatings for milling, drilling and reaming in a variety of material groups. The tool is then designed in our CAD software programs and tested in our flow simulation program to identify any potential hot spots in the tool. We then refine, verify and deliver a tool that will perform as promised.
With over 90 years in the business, our experience enables us to solve unique challenges that help to reduce machining time, improve quality, productivity and cost of ownership across the life of the tool.
We are passionate about crafting a best-in-class solution to fit each application while fostering long-term, personal relationships with our customers.
If it doesn’t exist, we find a way or make one.
Since 1970, Star Cutter has designed and manufactured special carbide drills and reamers for use with CNC production systems as well as standard and flexible machining systems.
For machining holes with a relatively large diameter to depth ratio, Star Cutter offers a variety of solutions, all providing excellent diameter control and straightener in a variety of workpieces and materials.
We produce a line of PCD tools that can be applied to all types of non-ferrous materials including aluminum, magnesium, copper, brass, wood, graphite, fiber glass and many more.
Star Cutter is recognized for developing custom-engineered tooling solutions for the automotive industry that solve unique challenges.
Star Cutter has years of experience in developing optimized hole making and drilling tools for the production of firearm components.
Star Cutter provides optimal solutions for the best machining applications to meet the stringent requirements in the medical industry.
Five basic factors that impact the drilling operation are Material, Machining Parameters, Holders, Tool Design, and Coolant. And all of these are dependent on one another; each factor has an influence on the others.
