Grainger Offers Round-Tool Reconditioning
The new service focuses on high-speed steel and carbide round tooling.
Grainger (Orlando, Florida), a supplier of maintenance, repair and operating (MRO) products, announced a new cutting tool reconditioning service during the 2017 #GraingerShow.
Rather than discarding worn end mills and drill bits, manufacturers can reduce waste and save on the cost of new tooling by repairing used cutting edges back to original specification. The service focuses on high-speed steel and carbide round tooling used on CNC machines as well as manual mills and lathes.
“While most regrind services are offered by local shops, our solution provides customers with a single source for new and reconditioned tooling with a consistency of service and invoicing nationwide,” says Brad Laux, director of metalworking strategy.
Grainger carries nearly 300,000 products for metalworking processes, including cutting tools, precision measuring, welding and abrasives.
