Blue Chip Tool

Company Overview
Blue Chip Tool Co. is a family-owned CNC machine shop located in Cincinnati, Ohio. Founded over 40 years ago and now operated by second-generation owners, Blue Chip specializes in precision CNC milling and turning services for both prototypes and production runs. With a reputation built on craftsmanship, quality, and reliability, Blue Chip serves a diverse range of industries while maintaining the personal touch of a small, tight-knit team.

The shop operates with just 8 employees — including ownership — which means every machinist plays a critical role in delivering precision parts on time and to spec.
