Question 1

What industries do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We serve manufacturing, engineering, CNC machining, aerospace, composite fabrication, woodworking, panel processing, and metalworking operations. Our tooling solutions are designed for production environments where uptime and precision are critical.

Question 2

Can you support high-volume production sharpening?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our workshop houses 8 Vollmer CNC saw grinders with capacity to run 24 hours a day, 6 days a week. We regularly support manufacturing operations requiring consistent, high-throughput tool sharpening with next day TCT blade turnaround available.

Question 3

Do you offer scheduled collection and return?

Accepted Answer

We operate a scheduled collection and return service designed to fit your production cycle. Free locally in Scunthorpe and North Lincolnshire, with competitive courier rates UK-wide. We ensure your tooling is collected and returned on schedule to prevent production gaps.

Question 4

What is your Contract Hire service?

Accepted Answer

Our Contract Hire programme provides managed blade supply, sharpening, and servicing with zero capital expenditure. Each tool is uniquely coded and tracked through our system. We automatically manage your stock, replace worn tools, and handle all logistics — so your production team can focus on output.

Question 5

What precision tolerances do you achieve?

Accepted Answer

Our laser analysis technology verifies every regrind to ±7 micron accuracy. This production-grade precision ensures your resharpened tools meet OEM specifications and deliver consistent cutting performance across your manufacturing runs.

Question 6

Can you design and manufacture bespoke tooling?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We consult with your engineering team to understand your production process, materials, and output requirements, then design and CNC-manufacture purpose-built tooling optimised for your specific application. We've delivered bespoke solutions for aerospace, composite, and specialist manufacturing operations.

Question 7

How does resharpening compare to buying new tools?

Accepted Answer

A professionally resharpened tool performs at 90-95% of new tool capability at a fraction of the cost. For production operations, this translates to significant reduction in per-unit tooling costs. Our CNC-controlled, laser-verified regrinding delivers measurable, repeatable quality that production managers can rely on.

Question 8

How quickly can you turn around tooling?

Accepted Answer

TCT saw blade sharpening is available with next day turnaround. Standard sharpening and servicing is 3-5 working days. For production-critical requirements, speak to our team about express service and scheduled arrangements that align with your production schedule.
