Our Story
About RL Stephens Tool
Five decades of precision machining and cutting tools expertise — built on hard work, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to the shops we serve.
50+ Years supplying quality tools
RL Stephens Tool was founded on a simple idea: small shops and local manufacturers deserve the same quality tools and machining expertise as the big players. Since 1968, we've been delivering exactly that.
We are a cutting tools supplier — stocking and selling a full range of tooling for manufacturing, including end mills, drill bits, inserts, taps, reamers, toolholders, and more. We know these products because we've spent decades learning what works in real shop environments.
Our customers are machinists, shop owners, and manufacturers who need reliable tools from a supplier they can trust. We treat every order with the same care we'd want for our own shop.
Product Knowledge
We know our inventory inside and out. Ask us anything — we'll point you to the right tool for your material, machine, and application.
Quality Sourcing
We source from trusted manufacturers and stand behind every product we sell. No off-brand substitutes, no surprises.
Reliability
When you need a tool, you need it on time. We keep stock on hand and fulfill orders promptly.
Local, Personal Service
We're not a catalog. We know our customers by name and give every order the attention it deserves.
