|
|
|
|
 |
|
Reconditioning of high performance carbide drills |
|
|
|
|
|
Reconditioning of drills, reamers, end mills, taps and most other types of high speed, cobalt, and carbide rotary cutting tools |
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
Major modification of tools (changing diameter and/or other critical geometries) |

|
| Tool Identification |
|
| Today there are multitudes of drill print designs, which creates myriad opportunities to misidentify a drill point. Our technicians are trained in identifying all manor drill points, geometries and various coatings used. |
|
|
| Reconditioning |
|
| New cutting edges are ground on the tools. We take great care to assure that these cutting edges meet OEM standards or print specifications. Tools are thoroughly examined for thermal cracks and other types of damage that may cause a field failure. |
|
|
| Edge Preparation |
|
| Technicians apply the correct edge preparation per the application or tool drawing. This may consist of a T-land, hone, or both. Edge preparations can be tailored to our customer’s application to improve tool performance. |
|
|
| Recoating |
|
| Most high performance rotating carbide tools have a PVD coating to increase their tool life or speed capability. We utilize a local PVD coating company to insure quality recoating with the required TiN, TiCN or TiAlN coatings. The final product delivers performance similar to the new tool. |
