Meet NTR’s Tooling Surgeon

We’re excited to introduce our latest Tool Health Hero: THE TOOLING SURGEON on the cover of Engineering Subcontrator Magazine this month (May/June 2025). Our incredible Tooling Surgeon works tirelessly to produce metal cutting tools even with the most complex of geometry and materials.
By harnessing the team’s many years of expertise, Chris and operations director, Sam Wood, have built a surgery team of which they are rightly proud. Metal cutting tools have always been at the heart of NTR, the refurbishment of very complex tooling is their bread and butter, but their ability to design new tooling, re‐engineer existing ones and resurrect discontinued tools, is where their expertise really shines.
Designing and manufacturing metal cutting tools has always been a key part of NTR’s business. Many people know us for our repair service, but what do you do when a tool is discontinued, or doesn’t quite meet your needs any more? Our team can design something from scratch using our CAD/CAM system or equally if you have a tool that’s no longer available we can reverse engineer it, adding in new specifications as we go.
We have many, many years of skill in this area and The Surgeon really highlights the level of expertise the guys have!”
