About us
Good tooling shouldn't be something only the big shops can afford.
Since 2021, Frost CNC Tooling has specialized in premium carbide cutting tools with advanced diamond coatings. We're not just selling bits—we're giving independent shops access to tooling that maximizes speed, precision, and tool life while actually lowering your cost per part.
Our diamond-coated tools are engineered for shops running high-volume panel processing or working with challenging specialty materials. Longer tool life. Cleaner cuts. Less downtime. That's the standard we build to.
Started in a Garage. Driven by a Gap in the Market.
Frost CNC Tooling was founded by Nic Frost.
With a background in analytical chemistry and teaching, Nic spent years in labs and classrooms before a single table saw purchase changed everything. What began as weekend cabinet projects in his garage quickly turned into a full-time cabinet company by 2017.
Running that shop, Nic kept hitting the same frustration: quality tooling was either overpriced or underperforming. Small shops were stuck choosing between tools that didn't last and premium options priced for enterprise operations. So in 2021, he started Frost CNC Tooling to fix that.
Nic brings the same precision thinking from his chemistry background and the same approachable, educational mindset from his teaching days into every customer interaction (don't be surprised if he's the one who responds to your email). Whether you're dialing in feeds and speeds for the first time or optimizing an established production line, you get straight answers and tools that actually perform.
Built for Shops That Can't Afford Downtime
Frost CNC Tooling is focused on pushing diamond-coated bits forward. Not because it sounds fancy, but because they genuinely perform better:
- Exceptional durability – Tools that outlast standard carbide by significant margins
- Precision performance – Cleaner cuts with tighter tolerances, even in abrasive materials
- Real-world support – Guidance from someone who's run the machines and dealt with the same challenges you face
We're leveling the playing field so smaller shops can compete on quality and efficiency—not just price.
