Scientific Cutting Tools, Inc.

Scientific Cutting Tools, Inc. Helping machinists complete jobs and solve problems with premium carbide cutting tools since 1963! Over 50 years ago, Scientific Cutting Tools, Inc.

was established as an innovative tool business based upon the simple marketing concept of providing customers with superior products, competitive prices and uncompromising service. The owners and employees started SCT with a fresh perspective in tool design techniques and an inspired ambition to succeed. SCT entered the tool business with one product, one customer, and one driving goal – to be num

ber one in the cutting tool industry. Over the years, SCT has developed new tool lines, and refined existing ones. SCT’s aggressive research and development department also has the capability of developing specialized customer tools designed for specific projects. SCT tool designers can also modify existing stock tools to meet individual customer needs. Although more than 50 years has passed since SCT first opened its doors in Simi Valley, California, the company’s fundamental reasons for being in business have not changed from those that were first established by company founder Stan Christopher. Today’s commitment to quality control, unparalleled craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction are the attributes that set the people of Scientific Cutting Tools above the competition.

SCT Port Kits bring together the tooling needed to machine SAE J1926 and AS5202 ports in some of the sizes shops use most often.

Available in tube sizes -2 through -8, each kit takes some of the guesswork out of tool selection by giving you a coordinated set of tools for the port size you’re machining.

It’s a simple idea: make it easier to source the right tools, keep them organized and get to work.

Performance starts before a cutting tool ever reaches the spindle.

Before a tool makes its first cut, a lot has already happened to influence how it will perform.

At SCT, that includes precise inspection, controlled edge preparation and advanced HiPIMS coatings. We’ve continued investing in technology that gives us greater control over each of these steps and helps us improve consistency from tool to tool.

At IMTS 2026, we’ll be sharing more about the technology behind SCT cutting tools and what happens before the cut.
