Re-Conditioning - ITS can service your used tools to save you new tooling cost. Don't throw them away!! SAVE! Will be good as new

Tool Coatings - ITS can coat your tooling with TiN, TiCN, TiALN ALTiN

RE-CONDITIONING CARBIDE AND HIGH SPEED STEEL

• Carbide tipped tools should always be used when machining highly abrasive materials.

• Carbide tipped tools improve surface finish and hold size far longer for better quality.

• Carbide tipped tools retain their cutting edge hardness at high machining temperatures generated by high cutting speeds and feeds that reduce machining cycle time.

• Carbide tipped tools last far longer because the carbide chip forming surface resists wear as the chip flows over the tools. This greatly reduces need for costly changes with increased scrap and rework.

• Industrial Tool Sharpening has been in business since 1984 and is one of the leading manufacturers of carbide tipped tools in the industry.

High-speed steel (HSS or HS) is a subset of tool steels, commonly used in tool bits and cutting tools. It is often used in power-saw blades and drill bits. It is superior to the older high-carbon steel tools used extensively through the 1940s in that it can withstand higher temperatures without losing its temper (hardness). This property allows HSS to cut faster than high carbon steel, hence the name high-speed steel. At room temperature, in their generally recommended heat treatment, HSS grades generally display high hardness (above HRC60) and abrasion resistance (generally linked to tungsten and vanadium content often used in HSS) compared with common carbon and tool steels.

CNC GRINDING

Our advanced ANCA CNC grinding technology provides ITS with the capability to finish cutting tools in one operation. It also makes it possible to achieve close tolerances, accurate machining and total control of front and back end operations.
Today's tool and cutter grinder is typically a CNC machine tool, usually 5 axes, which produces endmills, drills, step tools, etc. which are widely used in the metal cutting and woodworking industries.
Modern CNC tool and cutter grinders enhance productivity by typically offering features such as automatic tool loading as well as the ability to support multiple grinding wheels. High levels of automation, as well as automatic in-machine tool measurement and compensation, allow extended periods of unmanned production. With careful process configuration and appropriate tool support, tolerances less than 5 micrometres (0.0002") can be consistently achieved even on the most complex parts.
