Tool Regrinding and Coating

Tool Reconditioning Services
  • Restore your worn tools and bring them back to their original performance - reduce cost and extending tool life.
  • Reconditioning of round tools can increase your profitability by using the tool in an environmentally friendly way until the end of the product life cycle.
  • The reconditioned tool performs as good as new and can bring savings of more than 50%. 
  • Reconditioning of each tool is evaluated and performed individually based on wear. During reconditioning all tools go through several process steps that match new tool production to ensure the best possible performance of the reconditioned tool.
  • Solid Carbide drills will be reground at the point’s end and step length. Modular drill heads will be reground at the point’s end. Solid carbide endmills will be reground at the point’s end, rake angle, and periphery.   
  • On average, solid carbide drills can be reconditioned 3-5 times, modular drills up to 2 times, and solid carbide endmills up to 3 times.

Carbide Coating

All similar coatings are not alike. The performance of a TiN/TiCN/TiAlN-coated tool from one vendor may perform significantly different than a TiN/TiCN/TiAlN-coated tool from another vendor. Kennametal conducted independent tests of tools from the same lot and coated by different vendors, including ourselves. The results revealed a performance spread of 10X when tested in identical test conditions. In extreme cases, a drill coating from one vendor may yield 300 holes while another’s coating will yield 3,000 holes! Consistent day-to-day and month-to-month performance is critical for predictable results.

Carbide Coating

Kennametal offers a complete portfolio of ISO-/ANSI-style inserts. Positive, negative, CVD, PVD, or uncoated, we have the insert to help increase productivity and achieve greater savings. Plus, our carbide insert line offers 3 coating types: KENGold™, Beyond™ Drive™ or Beyond™. Each coating is applied to the grade to create unique benefits for the customer like wear resistance or wear identification.
