Regrind services

Give your tools a second (and third) life

Just because a tool’s worn down doesn’t mean it’s worn out.

Fullerton’s cutting tool regrinding and reconditioning services help restore cutting performance, extend usable tool life, and reduce replacement costs. From everyday end mills to custom tools with complex geometries, we help you get more from the tooling you already own.

We use the same advanced CNC equipment, edge preparation technology, inspection processes, and premium coatings used in our new tool production. Because a second life deserves the same attention to detail.

FAQ

Good Questions. Straight Answers

What cutting tools can Fullerton regrind?

Fullerton’s regrind services cover end mills, drills, reamers, routers, keyseat cutters, saws, burrs, countersinks, and custom tooling. Whether a specific tool can be reconditioned depends on its design, wear, damage, and remaining usable geometry.

Can you recondition tools from other manufacturers?

Yes. Fullerton reconditions its own tools and tools from other manufacturers. Share your tooling details so our team can review the available options.

Can reconditioned tools be recoated?

Yes. Fullerton offers in-house coating capabilities for reconditioned tooling. Our team can help review coating options for your tool and application.

How many times can a cutting tool be reground?

There isn’t one number that fits every tool. The number of possible regrinds depends on the tool’s design, condition, remaining dimensions, and application requirements.

Scrap policy

Just a Heads Up: Tool Condition Matters.

We work to recover as much usable life as possible from every tool. However, wear, damage, and the regrind process itself can result in scrap—even when tools arrive in good condition.

Poor condition

We will not issue credit on tools that are in poor condition, even if we try to fix them.

Normal regrind process

For tools in good condition, there is still potential for scrap as part of the normal regrind process.

Under 10% scrapped

We will not issue credit for quantities scrapped that are less than 10% of the order quantity (1 piece for orders of 15 or less).

Over 10% scrapped

If we scrap more than 10% of the order, we will credit the price of a regrind for all pieces above the 10% (or the # of pieces above 1 on orders of 15 or more).
