Being a job shop teaches you a lot.

Every customer is different. Every project comes with its own challenges. Every day brings a new opportunity to solve a problem.

Over the years, those experiences helped shape NTM into more than a manufacturer. They taught us how to listen, adapt, and find practical solutions for the people we serve.

Many of our products and services exist because a customer needed something that wasn't readily available.

That's the advantage of staying close to the work. You learn what manufacturers need because you're working alongside them every day.

The best ideas often start with a problem.

Years ago, manufacturers needed a boring bar that could deliver greater rigidity and more consistent performance. Existing options weren't always meeting the demands of the job.
NTM saw an opportunity to help.

The result was Stubby® Boring Bars, a product designed to reduce vibration, improve stability, and help machinists get more from every cut.

What started as a solution to a customer challenge became one of NTM's most recognized products.

Nearly 50 years later, the same principle still guides us: listen, learn, and build solutions that work.

For nearly 50 years, one phrase has shaped the way NTM approaches manufacturing:

“Let’s figure it out.”

It’s the mindset behind our tooling, our services, and the way we work with customers every day.

When manufacturers needed a better boring bar, we developed Stubby®.

When customers wanted a smarter way to extend tool life, we created NU-Head™.

Being flexible, nimble, and willing to take on challenges helped shape NTM into what it is today.

The industry has changed over the years, but our approach hasn’t.

See a problem. Find a solution. Keep moving forward.

NTM was built by paying attention to what manufacturers needed.

Over the years, customers came to us looking for better ways to solve challenges on the shop floor. Sometimes that meant modifying a tool.

Sometimes it meant creating something entirely new.

That mindset led to products like Stubby® Boring Bars and NU-Head™ — solutions developed through real conversations, real machining challenges, and decades of hands-on experience.

We’ve always been more than a tooling shop or a job shop. We’re problem solvers first.

Fifty years later, that approach still drives everything we do.

The industry continues to shift. Material costs, availability, and lead times are all changing.

At NTM, our focus remains the same. Delivering reliable tools and supporting the people who use them.

We’re continuing to invest in quality, performance, and the processes that keep our tools consistent.

Consistency starts before the job begins.

Having the right tools on hand and ready to go helps prevent delays and unexpected issues.

Stocking key carbide tooling and maintaining tools through regrinding keeps production moving.

A little planning goes a long way.

A better approach to tooling starts with using what you already have.

Repair where it makes sense.
Regrind when you can.
Replace when you need to.

Services like tool regrinding and boring bar repair help extend tool life and reduce unnecessary spend.

It’s a simple cycle. Repair, reuse, repeat.

High-volume work leaves little room for inconsistency.

Tools need to hold tolerance, reduce vibration, and perform the same way run after run.

That’s where rigid setups and reliable carbide cutting tools make a difference.

When performance is consistent, everything downstream runs smoother.

Raw material costs continue to rise across the manufacturing industry.

Availability, lead times, tariffs, and production costs have all shifted significantly over the last year, especially around carbide tooling and precision cutting tools.

At NTM, we’ve worked hard to absorb as much of that impact as possible while continuing to deliver the quality and consistency our customers expect. To continue operating responsibly and supporting the long-term needs of our partners, pricing on Stubby® Boring Bars will increase beginning June 1, 2026.

We know shops across the industry are feeling these pressures too.

That’s why we continue to focus on practical solutions that help manufacturers reduce unnecessary spend:
• Tool regrinding
• NU-Head™ boring bar repair
• Long-lasting carbide tooling
• Keeping top-selling sizes in stock and ready to ship

If Stubby® Boring Bars are part of your regular workflow, now is a good time to review inventory and plan ahead.
