Heritage & History
Viking Drill and Tool was founded in 1944 in Saint Paul, Minnesota, entering the cutting tool market at a moment when American manufacturing was operating at peak intensity to supply the war effort. The precision machining skills and metallurgical knowledge developed during wartime production translated directly into peacetime cutting tool manufacturing, and Viking built its reputation supplying industrial customers who needed reliable, consistent tooling.
For eight decades, Viking has operated in Saint Paul, building institutional knowledge about high-speed steel formulation, drill point geometry, and surface treatment that produces tools with the edge retention and accuracy that professional machinists require. The company supplies metalworking shops, maintenance departments, and industrial distributors who specify domestic tooling for quality and procurement compliance.
Minnesota Metal Working Heritage
Saint Paul's manufacturing tradition supported Viking's development as a precision toolmaker. Access to skilled machinists, quality steel suppliers, and industrial customers who could provide immediate feedback on tool performance created an environment where Viking refined its products through decades of real-world use data.
Viking's jobber drill bits are made from M2 high-speed steel, the standard formulation for general purpose drilling in steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. The company's premium split-point bits reduce walking on hardened surfaces, while the cobalt series handles stainless steel and other work-hardening alloys that challenge conventional HSS tooling. Eighty years of manufacturing experience in Saint Paul means Viking drills perform as professional machinists expect.
