Grinding burs
Productive Times. End user: Specialty Carbide Products.
Manually grinding tools is a way to start as a toolmaker but not an effective method for sustaining and growing the business. Specialty Carbide Products LLC began in 2001 with some manual tool post grinders, a carbide dust collector and not a single customer, according to Shaun Seidl, partner/co-owner of the Warminster, Pa., carbide bur manufacturer. In a few years, the company found it needed CNC equipment to keep up with demand. “We were working hard, hand grinding like cavemen and the business was starting to grow,” he recalled.
Seidl added that manually grinding tools limits part consistency. “No two tools are the same,” he said, noting that all burs are manually resharpened.
