Tri-State Tool Grinding specializes in the refurbishment of solid carbide cutting tools, as well as the manufacture of simple solid carbide cutting tools. Producing tools for manufacturers across a variety of exacting industries and applications, it is imperative that their tools have precise geometries and specifications.A certification with such broad applicability naturally carries with it a great degree of steps and requirements and, as such, this certification shows the commitment to quality and customer assurance that Tri-State shares with KOMET.
Jim Dinkelacker, the president of Tri-State Tool Grinding, proudly stated, “We are very pleased with our certification. Although we and our closest customers have always known that we produce high-quality products, ISO certification allows us to proudly and confidently tell new customers that we are formally recognized for our quality. We will continue to grow our business and penetrate even further into the tristate cutting tools market.”
Tom Whennen, the director of channels at KOMET and manager of KOMET Service in North America, is also very pleased with the news, adding, “We are selective; we work only with regrind shops of the highest caliber with reputations for quality work. They fit that bill and their ISO certification proves it.”
