Our Story
Built on Precision. Grounded in Integrity.
Scientific Cutting Tools was founded in 1963 by Stanley Christopher, who was driven by a belief that American manufacturing deserved better tooling. Three generations later, we continue that legacy — designing, grinding, and coating every tool in-house to meet the highest standards of performance and reliability.
We serve customers in aerospace, defense, medical, automotive, and advanced manufacturing — including trusted names like NASA, SpaceX, Blue Origin, Caterpillar, Lockheed Martin, and Johns Hopkins.
