Precision grinding is a specialized form of grinding that focuses on achieving high levels of accuracy. It is widely used across various industries and involves a manufacturing process that employs a specialized rotating wheel embedded with abrasive particles to remove material from the workpiece with great precision.
What is a CNC grinder?
CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control. It uses a high-powered computer and specialized sensors to carry out the grinding process automatically.
How are my tools measured?
For measuring tools, we employ a range of precision instruments including calipers, micrometers, and other specialized measuring equipment to ensure accurate dimensions and specifications for your tools.
What is tool modification?
Tool modification involves customizing tools for specific or unusual applications. This process allows for the design of personalized tools tailored to meet particular needs, often providing a more cost-effective alternative to purchasing expensive new and/or factory-standard tools.
What is tool sharpening?
Tool sharpening is the process of removing material with an abrasive substance harder than the tool’s material, resulting in a sharp cutting surface. This may sometimes be followed by polishing or honing the edge to further refine or alter it as needed.
How are my tools protected?
To safeguard your tools during transportation and storage, we apply a specialized wax coating to the sharpened edge. This protective measure helps prevent damage and maintain the tool's sharpness until it is ready for use.
