Regrinding Service For Cutting Tools

Precision tools are in daily use and must deliver maximum performance. As a result of high stress, even the most durable metalworking tools will wear out.

Even though wear and tear accounts for only a fraction of the carbide volume lost, tools are usually discarded as soon as the first signs of wear appear. That’s why you should consider whether to regrind or buy new tools.

Our professional regrinding service offers you:

  • Savings of up to 63% on tool costs
  • Improved performance of your cutting tools well beyond their initial use
  • A significant extension of your tools’ service life
  • Sustainable reduction of your tool costs
  • Increased cost-effectiveness of your machining processes

Many Tools can be reground several times regrind. This saves costs, reduces material consumption and conserves valuable resources.

Regrinding: Economical And Resource-Efficient

What are the benefits of having your tools reground? Five reasons to consider our regrinding service:

  1. Up to 63% cost savings compared to purchasing new tools
    With professional tool reconditioning, tool costs can be reduced in the long term.
  2. Long service life and maximum performance
    Service life increased by up to 95% with up to 100% machining performance – even after regrinding.
  3. High precision and like-new quality
    Since machining tools require high dimensional accuracy, regrinding is performed on state-of-the-art CNC machines – each tool is measured after grinding.
  4. Returned in original condition
    Your tools are returned in their original grind and coating.
  5. Non-manufacturer-specific and versatile
    We regrind a wide range of cutting tools, from drills and end mills to trochoidal end mills and burs.
  6. All from a single source
    We offer a comprehensive service, from consulting and ordering to customer support, with dedicated contacts and fast delivery.

We offer our regrinding service for standard tools and for our special tools tailored to your needs.

Savings Of Up To 63%: Regrinding vs Buying New

Given the current market conditions and rising carbide costs, regrinding cutting tools is a significantly more cost-effective alternative to buying new tools.

By regrinding your tools promptly, you extend their service life and make optimal use of their full potential. This allows you to significantly reduce your tooling costs and increase the economic efficiency of your machining processes.

Our recommendation is regrinding your tools a maximum of three times. Beyond that, geometric changes may occur, and the base substrate may weaken, significantly reducing performance.

Example: Regrinding Solid Carbide End Mills (Series 35382)

Our high-performance end mills from the 35382 series in diameters of 6mm, 12mm and 16mm, clearly demonstrate the economic potential of regrinding.

Proper sharpening of solid carbide end mills can yield potential savings of 36%, 57%, and 60% compared to purchasing new ones.
In this example, the cost of regrinding a 12mm diameter end mill is €22.47 per regrind.

Example: Solid Carbide HPC Trochoidal End Mills (Series 37151)

The cost difference between purchasing new tools and regrinding them is also evident with our solid carbide HPC trochoidal end mills series 37151.

When regrinding the 6mm diameter, savings of around 33% can be achieved. For diameters of 12mm and 16mm, the savings are up to 50% and 57%, respectively.

Example: Solid Carbide Drill (Series 51200)

Our 51200 series solid carbide high-performance drill also highlights the savings potential of regrinding:

54% when regrinding a 6mm diameter, 57% for 12mm and 63% for 16mm compared to buying new.

The charts show:

Total costs are significantly reduced after just one regrinding cycle. The savings potential increases considerably, especially with larger diameters.
