Since 1987, Cougar Cutting Tools has been an industry leader when it comes to solid carbide round specials. What makes us different from your average tool manufacturer? While other manufacturers are in the business of simply producing tools, we focus on you. Cougar can design tools for you based on how you use them. Want to consolidate machining operations into one tool? Cougar can do that. Want to save money on reduced cycle times and reduced tool changes? Cougar can do that. For over 30 years we’ve helped our customers achieve their machining goals. 

Cougar Cutting Tools was founded in 1987 by our current President, Vic Stefan, and other like-minded individuals who believed that “you’re only as good as the last tool you made”. There was a need by many companies in the aerospace and automotive industries for a tooling supplier that put Quality first. Hence, Cougar was established to fulfill that need and continues to do so today. From our humblest beginnings in Sterling Heights, MI to our current facility in Clinton Township, MI, Cougar has continually grown to become a leader in special solid carbide tooling.​

Cougar Cutting Tools is currently located on metro-Detroit’s east side just minutes away from Selfridge Air Base in Clinton Township. Our 15,000 sq. ft. facility houses the latest in grinding technology. By continually reinvesting in our equipment, Cougar is able to stay at the forefront of grinding technology which results in a better quality product at lower cost to you.
