Ripper Cutters are restored by grinding inside the flutes to clear wear. Although the profile on the diameter is form relieved the amount removed from inside the flutes does not significantly reduce the size of the tool.

Corner rounding cutters can often be refurbished by regrinding the tooth face to remove wear. If the tool is severely worn, it can be reground to a new radius.

Our innovative designs are a result of not only our many years in the manufacturing business, but also our years of running our own heavy equipment service business.

Please ensure that your blades are securely packaged before you send them to us. If your sawblades have any free movement within the packaging they are at high risk of being damaged or broken during transportation, it's very easy for TCT saw blades to have teeth broken off and it's even easier for HSS saw blades to break because they are very brittle. So package them tight and secure and save yourself from any extra costs that could easily be avoided.

Counter Boring tools wear on the end cutting face and can easily be restored by grinding the end teeth back to an unworn section. The tool is returned without alteration to the original counter boring diameter.

SURE-CUT SYSTEM - This oxygen lance is one slick, easy to use tool that should be on every service truck and in every shop that works on repairing worn out bores. Pays for itself in 1-2 uses in time savings. If you've ever had to deal with how to remove a stuck or frozen/rusted in pin you will appreciate this system. In minutes it can pierce a hole straight through the stuck pin. Once it cools a few minutes later, the pin shrinks and the rust bond is broken and the pin can be easily tapped out. This tool, when compared to using a press or a sledge hammer can potentially save hours of labor. (order #JRSC2024S-REG)

Slot drills are used to machine slots and the cutter size is important. In this case the cutter has been worn to the depth of the slot. We can refurbish the tool by removing the worn section and regrinding new end teeth. The tool is returned with original diameter but a little shorter in length.

Various types of threading tap can be sharpened. Typically the tool is ready for regrinding when the first full thread is chipped or worn - visually 2 or 3 pitches are cut off and the lead renewed.

The flow diagram below quickly describes the processes undertaken to get your tools to us, have them sharpened and then have your tools returned or prepared for collection.

Many Ripper Cutters are only used for shallow cuts and the worn part of the flutes can be cut off and new end teeth reground. The cutter is then returned with the original diameter size but slightly shorter in length.

At The Saw Centre we pride ourselves on our saw sharpening service. We are one of the few companies in the UK who still has a Saw Doctor providing our customers with quality services and has been for almost forty years. Over the years we have invested heavily in state-of-the-art CNC saw blade regrinding machinery for TCT circular saw blade sharpening and HSS circular saw blade sharpening. This machinery allowed us to take our sawblade sharpening service to the next level.

ULTRA-CARBIDE BORING BAR CUTTING SYSTEM - Our new Ultra-Carbide is an excellent choice when using your larger bars that have 1/2" tool ports.  The holder is designed so that the insert is within the 1/2" profile allowing you to have maximum boring diameter range. The inserts can handle much higher speeds that the standard high speed cutters and they will not fracture when using on rough cuts or in bores with interruptions. There are three cutting edges as well and these bits hold a sharp edge on average 10x longer than a standard high speed bit, and 5x longer than most cemented carbide cutters.

ID BORE MEASURE GAGE KIT TIGHT BORE VERSION - similar to the standard kit above, but is designed to collapse  down to the bar diameter enabling the accurate measurements of bores which are much closer to the actual boring bar diameter. (standard ID bore measure requires 1/2" (12mm) clearance over bar dia) (order #K92.20)

Consistent finish to blades using the same geometry as manufacturer. Any damage teeth are replaced using high quality carbide tips. All blades are chemically cleaned in high pressure tank and given a wax coating to protect blade when in transit.

BRS6 - repairs bores from 1.4" (36mm) to 610mm) (consists of BOA-408i auto borewelder and BB6 electric line bore system)

Face mills or shell mills usually have deep teeth and flutes that will allow several re-sharpening and regrinding operations before the tool begins to loose cutting efficiency.

We can also perform geometry reconfiguration on your cold saw blade to suit your specific cutting application. Most blades are configured for either mild steel or stainless steel and the cutting teeth perform in different ways and at different speeds to accomplish a clean cut on various materials.

The BB6 line boring system is designed for a wide variety of diameters. Capable of working on faces and bores from 1.5" (38mm) to 24" (610mm) and able to operate with the feed gearbox remotely mounted from the rotational gearbox, this system is big, tough and versatile. Like the BOA-C45 , the BB6 has a pass-through drive design, may be ordered with shorter or longer feed screws and may be equipped with the unique snap-ring groove cutting system or morse-taper end bars allowing all sorts of options including blind end machining. (available with electric or hydraulic drive)

Frequently these tools will be sent for refurbishment with one or more broken teeth. Typically we are able to refurbish these tools by removing and grinding the broken section to restore a complete set of sharp teeth.

Dovetail cutters can be reground on the side angles and on the end teeth to remove tool wear. New tools are often modified to suit particular customer requirements.

Now you can purchase our saw blade sharpening service online! Use the links below and get your blades sharpened in our state-of-the-art cnc factory.

Countersink tools can be reground to remove wear – often very little material needs to be removed and these tools can have a very long life if re-sharpened before severe wear takes place.

Alternatively, if a short portion of the tool length is worn i.e. the end 6mm. We can cut off the worn portion and regrind new end teeth. The tool is returned with original diameter but a little shorter in length.

Alternatively, many customers prefer to use these two flute cutters for machining aluminium or plastic and require the worn diameter to be sharpened. In this case we regrind the diameter and sharpen the end teeth.

Simple, rugged, precise and very easy to use the BOA-C45 is a staple in any shop or on any service truck working on the bores found on most earth moving machines. The BOA-C45 line boring package is capable of machining bores & faces from 1" (25mm) to 14" (356mm) and boasts a number of features that are unique such as quick-change feed screws (available in a variety of lengths) , pass-through compact drive design (offering amazing setup versatility), variable feed rate, reversible feed direction and rotation and the all-new star drive interface. Of course, like all our pass-through design line bore systems, tune-able bar support bearings & dual tool ports are standard in the bars offering easy & precise "tool-in" bore measurements and final cut sampling measurements. It is these many unique features that makes the BOA-C45 simply the best, quickest and most accurate systems available at any price for most any heavy equipment bore repairs. (now available with electric or hydraulic drive)

This is an electric drive boring system that rotates and feeds the bar from the end of the bar. Bar does not have the option of passing through the drive. The 150 with accessories can machine as small as 1" (25mm) and as large as 6" (152mm)  Package available at under $3300. USD.   This is the industries lowest price boring system. Add a bore welder and you will be under $8995. USD.

ID BORE MEASURE GAGE KIT - offers you the easiest way to accurately measure the bore you are repairing through the secondary tool port on your boring bar. Works in 1/2" and 3/8" tooling ports, for bores up to 14" diameter. (order #K92.10) See demo here

End mills can be reground on the flutes to remove the wear, when possible we regrind the inside of the flutes to maintain as much of the diameter as possible. Grinding on the outside of the flutes reduces more of the diameter however it is only done when the wears is more severe.

Many customers use only the ball radius and a small section of the cutter diameter and in this case we can remove the worn portion and CNC regrind the ball radius. The tool is returned with original size and ball radius but a little shorter in length.

LOW-PROFILE CENTERING KIT - This kit offers a handy way to get your boring bar centered when using cones is not a good option. For example when the bore faces are not square to the bores or the bores have lots of wear and are no longer close to round you will find that pre-centering your bar using this kit is much easier and accurate. These kits are available to fit 1.25", 1.75", 2.0" and 2.25" diameter bars. Kits include a pair of centering rings, weld-on centering tabs, centering screws with knurled ends and instructions. Click here for kit order numbers and details.

Blunt blades are sharpened with minimal material wear in our CNC machine factory. This fast, efficient and reliable service is perfect for sharpening your HSS cold saw blades and the process can be repeated multiple times before any significant reduction in diameter occurs.
