What types of cutting tools can be repaired?
We repair all types of indexable cutting tools including milling cutters, boring bars, indexable drills, cartridges, end-mills, lathe tools, and custom/special tools from any brand—Kennametal, Sandvik, Taegutec, Seco, Ceratizit, Mitsubishi, and others. Damages repaired include broken cutting edges, damaged pockets, threading issues, OD and height wear, and jammed screws.
How much can I save compared to buying new tools?
Tool restoration typically delivers dramatic cost savings compared to replacement, often 50-70% depending on tool type and damage extent. High-value indexable tools and custom moulds provide the greatest return, as repairs restore original performance at a fraction of new tool costs while eliminating long procurement lead times.
Will repaired tools perform like new?
Yes. Our restoration process returns cutting edges to original manufacturing tolerances with negligible radial/axial runout. Hardness and physical properties match the original specifications, and post-repair tool life equals or exceeds new tools. Every repair includes certification for concentricity and straightness.
What is the typical turnaround time for tool repairs?
Turnaround time varies based on damage complexity and current workload, but we prioritize urgent production-critical repairs. After initial evaluation, we provide specific delivery timelines and can expedite emergency repairs to minimize your production downtime. Rush service is available for breakdown situations.
Do you repair moulds and dies of any size?
Yes, we handle tools from 50 grams to over 20 tons with no limitations on size, shape, or weight. Our multi-process facility accommodates plastic injection moulds, pressure die-casting dies, compression moulds, rubber moulds, and metal injection moulds using the most appropriate welding technology for each application.
What welding processes do you use?
Our job-shop utilizes six advanced welding technologies: laser welding, micro-plasma welding, TIG welding, micro-GT, micro-cladding, and proprietary hybrid laser-micro GT processes. This multi-process capability allows us to select the most economical and effective method for each specific repair requirement.
Can you repair tools from any manufacturer or brand?
Absolutely. We repair indexable cutting tools, moulds, and dies from any manufacturer worldwide. Our expertise covers major brands like Kennametal, Sandvik, Seco, Mitsubishi, Iscar, and countless others, as well as custom and proprietary tooling designed for specific applications.
