Do you have existing cutting tools that need regrinding or sharpening?

No problem. We stand by our refurbished cutting tools and can provide a quality equal or superior to that of the new tool. This is our guarantee. We stand behind every manufactured, resharpened and reground cutting tool that comes from our facility. Give us a call, we’ll gladly answer any of your questions.

We match the right coating applications to your cutting tool needs

Tool Coating: Reduce wear and keep your machine feed rates at their best performance

We can apply coating to your custom or resharpened cutting tooling. This provides the capacity to reduce tool fatigue while maintaining the high precision cutting edge of your tool. Most of our coatings add little more than a week turn around time. From Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) to Zirconium nitride to Titanium nitride, we can match the right coating applications to your cutting tool needs.

  • Below is a list of our coating capabilities:
  • AlTiN - Aluminum Titanium Nitride
  • TiCN - Titanium nitride
  • ZrN - Zirconium nitride
  • CrN - Chrome Nitride
  • Amorphous Diamond and Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC)

Above are common coatings; however, we can accommodate any of your tool coating needs. Please call us if you have questions.
