Precision Tools Built to Your Specifications
Custom end mills, drills, taps, reamers and form tools ground on 5-axis CNC grinders from your CAD/STEP files or drawings.
Bauron Critical Tool Management
Critical Tool Management Program
Already using Bauron cutting tools? Our Critical Tool Management (CTM) program lets you consolidate your CNC tooling — standard and custom — under one manufacturer, simplifying procurement, reducing cost per part and keeping your spindles turning.
Technical overview
Why “Critical Tool”?
In CNC machining, the cutting tool is where production actually happens. A single end mill, drill, tap or reamer that is out of stock, worn, or out of spec can stop a machining cell, scrap expensive workpieces and push back deliveries. When a special form tool has a long lead time, one missing tool can idle an entire line for weeks.
Why Bauron
The Bauron Advantage
Reliable Tool Inventory Management
We produce and hold your tools in stock so replacements are ready before the last one wears out.
Cost Savings Through Consolidation
One tooling partner instead of multiple catalog brands and regrind vendors, with application support to extend tool life.
Process
How It Works
1. Send Your Drawings or Samples
Send us your tool drawings, CAD/STEP files, or a physical sample (new or used).
2. Engineering Review
Our application engineers review geometry, substrate, coating and your machining parameters.
3. Quote & Stocking Plan
We prepare a competitive quote with a stocking plan based on your tool consumption.
4. Grind, Inspect & Stock
We grind, inspect and stock — and deliver on your schedule.
CTM
What is CTM?
Critical Tool Management is a planned approach to sourcing the cutting tools your production depends on. A shortage of critical tools can cause major operational disruptions, costly machine downtime and scrapped parts. CTM replaces emergency tool orders and inconsistent substitutes with planned production, verified geometry and guaranteed availability.
