What are NSHP end mills and how much do they cost?
North Shore High-Performance (NSHP) is NSIT's private-label line of solid carbide end mills, engineered in the USA and precision-crafted in Poland. The stock program covers 292 options from 1/8" to 1" diameter, 3–8 flute, in square, ball nose, and corner-radius profiles, with square end mills starting at $15.
Does NSIT supply custom or special tooling?
Yes. NSIT engineers and sources special and custom tooling to your print — made-to-print customs through our brand partners, modified and custom-ground standard tools, custom NSHP solid carbide end mills beyond the 292 stock SKUs, and regrind and reconditioning to bring worn tools back to spec. Send a print or a problem tool and an application specialist will spec it and quote it.
Does NSIT regrind or recondition cutting tools?
Yes. Through our partnership with ARCH Cutting Tools, NSIT reconditions and regrinds used drills, round tools, and end mills back to like-new condition — or reworks them into new specials. With carbide prices rising, it is one of the fastest ways to cut tooling cost: one recurring re-manufacturing program has saved a medical customer over $200,000 a year for more than five years. Send us your worn tools for a quote.
Does NSIT manage tool inventory or vending?
Yes. NSIT offers vendor-managed inventory (VMI) and SupplyPoint industrial vending, so shops keep the right tooling on hand and buyers stop chasing parts, with usage tracked and reorders automated.
Does NSIT sell CNC machines?
Through its sister operation, Lights Out Machinery & Automation (LOMA), NSIT brings CNC machine tools and automation — so the machine, the tooling, the application engineering, and the inventory program come from one relationship.
