W.W. Grainger, Inc. (Lake Forest, IL), a leading broad line supplier of maintenance, repair and operating (MRO) products serving metal fabricators, recently announced during their 2017 Grainger Show the addition of a cutting tool reconditioning service to their metalworking solutions. This new offering helps shops reduce the waste of discarding worn end mills and drill bits by repairing their cutting edges back to original specifications for a fraction of the cost of buying new tools. This service focuses on high speed steel and carbide round tooling used on CNC machine tools, as well as manual mills and lathes.
“Shops have enough to think about when it comes to running their operations, and we want them to have the peace of mind of knowing they only need one point of contact for their tooling needs,” said Brad Laux, the director of metalworking strategy at Grainger. “While most regrind services are offered by local shops, our service provides users with a single source for new and reconditioned tooling with a consistency of service and invoicing nationwide.”
Grainger’s metalworking expertise helps shops leverage new technologies, ensure they have the right products when they need them, and document cost savings. Grainger carries more than 1.5 million products, including nearly 300,000 products for metalworking processes that encompasses cutting tools, precision measuring, welding and abrasives.
