Emuge Corp. has introduced tool grinding and reconditioning services based out of the company’s North American headquarters in West Boylston, Mass. A clean, new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility at Emuge is now equipped with the latest technology CNC grinding machines and inspection equipment, providing tool reconditioning for U.S. and Canadian customers for Emuge taps, drills and endmills, in addition to other brands of carbide drills and endmills.
“Reconditioning Emuge tools by Emuge makes sense,” said Bob Hellinger, president of Emuge Corp. “Emuge has the knowledge and manufacturing expertise to refurbish an Emuge tool to its original condition and specification, providing maximum performance levels, predictable operation and longer life than any other method, all at a modest investment for the utmost value."
Emuge reconditioning services offer complete inspection and evaluation of all tools received. Reconditioning services include complete regrinding to the original geometry of Emuge taps, drills and end mills, as well as other brands of drills and endmills. Reconditioning services also include corner radius, Weldon flats and other modifications to standard end mills, and PVD coatings through a state-of-the-art coating system. All reground tools are delivered with a detailed report on services rendered.

- grinding
grinding
Machining operation in which material is removed from the workpiece by a powered abrasive wheel, stone, belt, paste, sheet, compound, slurry, etc. Takes various forms: surface grinding (creates flat and/or squared surfaces); cylindrical grinding (for external cylindrical and tapered shapes, fillets, undercuts, etc.); centerless grinding; chamfering; thread and form grinding; tool and cutter grinding; offhand grinding; lapping and polishing (grinding with extremely fine grits to create ultrasmooth surfaces); honing; and disc grinding.
- physical vapor deposition ( PVD)
physical vapor deposition ( PVD)
Tool-coating process performed at low temperature (500° C), compared to chemical vapor deposition (1,000° C). Employs electric field to generate necessary heat for depositing coating on a tool’s surface. See CVD, chemical vapor deposition.
