Europe’s Leading Tooling Repair specialist

Seating accuracy and how to avoid coolant contamination

• CNC machining innovation and advances in material science has enabled tooling to be repaired which once would have been considered be scrap.

• We are the only tooling reclaimer to glass bead polish your tools which not only guarantees seating accuracy, avoiding blocked threads but it also prevents coolant contamination resulting from paint & chemical lacquer coating.

Other ServicesRapid Response Service• Customers are offered a rapid response service providing a

24-hour-a-day, seven-days-a-week turnaround, dependent upon need. A premium is applied based on the speed of service required.

3. Leading edge welding combined with manual and CNC Milling techniques are used to rebuild the tool body and pockets.

ISO Registration & Quality• EN ISO 9001:2008 accredited we have invested in

leading edge measurement equipment to guarantee cutting accuracy, each and every time your tools are repaired.

• All rotary tooling comes with its own inspection certificate detailing the maximum radial and axial run out.

In 2008 we invested in a Twin Scope Royal Tool

Pre-setter, which we use in the final inspection of

tooling.

Stage 4: Tool finished, screw holes are precision drilled, tapped and countersunk. The tool is deburredbefore it is polished.

Stage 5: Tool is bead blasted and inspected - screw holes, tolerances and finished quality are all verified. An inspection certificate is prepared before it is labelled (our seal of quality), oiled, packed and shipped.

Stage 3: Pockets are then precision milled, the outer diameter re-grounded using our flexible machining capabilities and calibrated measuring equipment.

Stage 2: The tool is stripped-down ensuring any “pick-up” is removed. The damaged pocket has been welded using a filler rod that closely matches the parent metal. This guarantees the tool longevity during use.

Stage 1: A Long Edge Milling Cutter and Face Mill with the top pocket severally damaged.
