The expansion of production capabilities and the "Design Your Own CNC Tool" service offer manufacturers engineering-driven tooling solutions, covering everything from initial concept to recurring production.
Baucor, a manufacturer of precision cutting tools and custom-designed components, today announced the continued expansion of its manufacturing network in the United States and Europe. This expansion strengthens Baucor's ability to serve its customers through custom CNC tool design , engineering support, prototyping, small batch manufacturing, and recurring production.
The company's growing product portfolio includes CNC cutting tools, industrial blades, machine blades, medical blades, punches, custom profile tools, and wear-resistant precision components. Baucor serves manufacturers in the aerospace, automotive, defense, medical technology, electronics, energy, robotics, packaging, food processing, woodworking, and general industrial manufacturing sectors.
“Many manufacturers come to us with a machining challenge rather than a finished tool design,” said Andy Olsen, sales manager at Baucor. “Our role is to help translate their application requirements into a viable CNC tool for their manufacturing. Through our Design Your Own CNC Tool service, customers can collaborate with our engineering team to define the geometry, material, coating, and performance requirements of a tool developed specifically for their operation.”
Design your own CNC tool
Baucor's "Design Your Own CNC Tool" service allows customers to develop custom-made, specialized milling cutters, drills, taps, reamers, and other cutting tools when standard catalog products do not meet their needs.
Customers can initiate the process by providing:
An existing technical drawing or CAD model
A physical tool or a sample of the component
A preliminary sketch or concept of the tool
Part material and machining parameters
Dimensions, tolerances and surface finish required
Information about the machine, spindle, tool holder, and cooling system
Specific performance targets, including tool life, cycle time, and chip control
Baucor's engineering team can then evaluate critical design variables such as tool diameter, overall length, cutting length, reach, number of cutting edges, helix angle, rake and clearance geometry, corner radius, cutting edge preparation, chip evacuation, coolant supply, and coating selection.
The custom tool development process can encompass engineering review, design refinement, material selection, quotation, prototype manufacturing, application testing, and series production. This approach enables customers to develop customized carbide tools and application-specific CNC solutions tailored to their actual machining conditions.
Wider portfolio of CNC cutting tools
Baucor's CNC tool manufacturing capabilities encompass a wide range of standard and custom tools for milling, drilling, tapping, reaming, chamfering, profiling, engraving, and precision hole finishing.
The main product categories include:
Milling tools: Ball end mills, corner radius mills, taper mills, dovetail mills, lollipop mills, T-slot mills, Woodruff keyway mills, keyway mills, port machining tools, engraving mills, chamfer mills and chip breaker mills.
Drilling tools: Barrel drills, deep hole drills, extra-long drills, large diameter drills, center drills, stepped drills, cylindrical countersinking drills, conical countersinking drills, wood helical drills (auger type) and center point drills.
Threading tools: Bottom taps, intermediate taps, taper lead taps, helical flute taps, helical lead taps (spiral point), pipe taps, thread forming taps, gas thread taps, machine screw taps and combination taps.
Precision reamers: Machine reamers, hand reamers, adjustable reamers, breech reamers, taper pin reamers, Morse taper reamers, shell reamers, pilot reamers, combination reamers, expansion reamers, and straight or helical flute reamers.
Depending on the application, tools can be manufactured from tungsten carbide, high-speed steel, cobalt alloys, tool steels, and other advanced materials. Application-specific coating options may include TiN, TiCN, and diamond-based coatings, selected to improve wear resistance, reduce friction, facilitate chip evacuation, or extend tool life.
Industrial blades, machinery blades and precision components
In addition to its CNC machining capabilities, Baucor manufactures industrial blades and machine blades intended for cutting, slitting, trimming, creasing, piercing, slicing, scraping and transformation operations.
The product range includes circular blades, rotary circular blades, straight blades, guillotine blades, scalpel blades, serrated knives, wavy blades, saw blades, punching blades, piercing blades, cross-cutting blades, crushing blades, creasing blades, tray heat-sealing machine blades, scraper blades, splicing blades, granulator blades, longitudinal cutting blades (upper and lower) and micro-precision blades.
Baucor also manufactures custom medical blades, surgical scalpels, orthopedic saw blades, punching tools, forming tools, carbide components, diamond-coated components, custom profile tools, and wear-resistant parts.
Support for production in the United States and Europe
Baucor's expanded manufacturing network aims to provide:
Greater flexibility for prototypes, small batches, and recurring orders
Engineering communication between the US and European markets
Greater access to specialized cutting tool manufacturing capabilities
Support for custom tooling programs and critical spare parts
More resilient production planning for international customers
A structured process that encompasses everything from the concept and prototype of the tool to recurring production
This expansion reflects Baucor's ongoing focus on combining manufacturing engineering services with precision tool production. Baucor operates under Norck's quality management system, certified to ISO 9001:2015.
