Reconditioning your tools to take advantage of a longer tool life and benefit from cost reduction
How to save money by reconditioning your toolsLearn how reconditioning your tools will save you money
The money you invest in new tools is often an economic investment that should not be underestimated. Ideally, you want to offset that initial purchase cost, and a tool reconditioning program can help you do just that.
By reconditioning your tools, you can:
- Reduce inventory costs
- Increase your competitiveness on the market
- Avoid wasting material
- Increase corporate sustainability
What is reconditioning?
Reconditioning is a process of restoring used solid carbide tools, such as drills, reamers and cutters, allowing companies to increase their productivity and save money by avoiding unnecessary tooling costs.
How do I know when to recondition my tools?
In addition to the obvious signs of blunt and rounded cutting edges, there are some details that machine operators should be able to recognize to understand whether a tool needs to be reconditioned or not. Here are some examples:
- Decrease in cutting capacity
- Higher machine and spindle loads
- Surface finishes decline
- Chip shape and size
When should I not recondition my tools?
If the cutting edges of the tool are heavily worn and damaged, it is not always possible to reconstruct the correct geometry or respect the dimensional tolerances.
It is essential to pay attention to the wear levels in order to take advantage of the reconditioning program.
How does the reconditioning program work?
Seco has created a reconditioning program, where partially used solid carbide cutters and drills are recovered, reconditioned and then returned. This helps you to reduce costs and contribute to sustainability goals.
Thanks to the processes of reconstruction and re-sharpening the cutting edges, the geometries are restored and then the coating re-applied to match the original characteristics.
The benefits of the reconditioning program:
- Seco original geometry and coating
- Significant savings on tool costs
- Guaranteed quality. All processes are ISO 9001 and ISO14001 certified
- High performance guaranteed
Important: We only recondition tools from Seco and not other brands.
