New and Refurbished Tools
While we do not manufacture cutting tools, we can match your needs with new and refurbished tool providers that use the Conicity Edge Prep Technology.
Cutting Tool & Manufacturing Expertise
Looking to reduce tool costs, increase productivity of capital equipment? Trying to solve long standing issues such as chatter, short tool life, tool breakage, poor surface finish? Give us a call to discuss.
Custom Machine Design
Let us work with you to design a Conicity Edge Preparation system tailored to your business needs.
Equipment Leases
We lease vending machine style equipment for both forward cutting round tools such as drills and reamers, and side cutting round tools such as end mills and taps. Pay based on machine cycles or a flat monthly rate.
Contract Edge Preparation
Send your tools to our workshop, we will process them same day and return them to you or drop ship.
Cutting Tool Edge Preparation – SME Technical Paper
Cutting Tool Edge Preparation Abstract: Proper selection and application of cutting tool edge preparation is considered one of the basic ingredients for a successfully manufactured and correctly performing hardmetal-cutting tool. This paper develops a basic understanding of the need for proper cutting edge preparation, specifically edge honing. The discussion is aimed at the process of nylon […]
Effects of Engineered Micro-Geometry™ on Burr Formation in PCD Milling of Aluminum
Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Deburring and Surface Finishing by William R. Shaffer ABSTRACT In recent years, PCD tools have become the tool of choice in high-speed aluminum milling applications. Burr generation by PCD tools in aluminum milling is the most common reason for tool replacement. Burr generation is significantly impacted by […]
Getting a Better Edge – Cutting Tool Engineering Magazine
Getting a Better Edge Edge honing has lagged behind other toolmaking technologies – but that’s changing. The list of variables affecting carbide cutting tool performance is long and well-documented. It ranges from tool-based attributes such as carbide grade to process-based ones like spindle stiffness. Buried on this list is a seldom-discussed variable—edge geometry. The act […]
A Better Edge – Cutting Tool Engineering
A Better Edge Proper edge preparation improves tool performance. – By Bill Kennedy, Contributing Editor – Cutting Tool Engineering Depending on what you need to cut, you might choose a razor blade or an iron wedge. This basic concept holds true in metal cutting. For a soft material, a sharp-edged cutting tool usually does the […]
Get an edge on tool performance – American Machinist
Appeared in American Machinist Magazine – December 2005 Get an edge on tool performance by James Benes Applying the “proper” edge preparation for a given application is no easy task. Until recently, creating edge geometries was more of an art than a science because the qualities desired in cutting tools — resistance to wear and […]
