Reconditioning

Reconditioning to original specifications results in superior performance

Don’t throw away your dull cutting tools

Proto-Cutter, Inc. does full in-house resharpening carbide and HSS:
• Reamers
• End Mills
• Drills
• Port tools
• Key cutters
• Milling cutters
• Back spot face cutters

We provide three basic reconditioning services:

• Retipping for carbide-tipped tooling. We can replace the carbide and precisely sharpen tools to their original diameter and tolerances. Many tools, if properly used, can be retipped up to 50 times or more to achieve the absolute lowest cost per hole.

• Resizing for carbide-tipped and high-speed steel reamers. If you use a reamer blank for more than one hole size, we can resize the reamer to a smaller diameter with controlled and precise accuracy (minimum stock required of .003).

• Lead sharpening for carbide-tipped and high-speed steel reamers. Chamfer and/or lead angles can be ground to remove wear and extend tool life. However, this is not guaranteed to restore the reamer to the performance level of a retipped or resized tool.
