Following is a brief outline for all our regrind services we offer on all HSS, Full Carbide and Tip Patch Products, these service are listed in the order we would offer:
1. First Regrind
- Loopers are removed from the block.
- The face of the Looper is ground, this re-sharpens the cutting edge without altering your cutting angle or cutting edge height significantly.
- The Loopers are then remoulded into blocks.
- The blocks are stamped with ‘R’ for identification.
- Note – this option is not recommended for Tip Patch.
2. Second Regrind (Refurbish)
- Loopers are removed from the block
- The cutting edge is ground by hand, this does not alter your cutting angle but the cutting edge height is now reduced.
- The Loopers are remoulded into blocks.
- The blocks are stamped with ‘x’ for identification.
3. Gashing (last possible option)
- Loopers remain in the blocks and a wheel is passed through the throat
- The cutting angle is now zero degrees and the cutting edge height is significantly reduced.
- These blocks are stamped with ‘G’ for identification.
- We do not recommend that you mix these blocks with other new or refurbished ones.
4. Remould Only
- This service enables you to save modules with broken Loopers
- We take the Loopers out of the block and remould the remaining good Loopers into new blocks (minimum number of blocks required would be approx 10 off)
We are only able to Regrind, Second Regrind and Remould our own style of Looper as the Cobble and Schlemper Loopers do not locate in the same way in our tooling. However we can offer Gashing on all Manufacturers of blocks.
We are also able to Regrind HSS knives and Single Loopers.
Normal delivery on all regrinds would be the end of each month, however we are able to offer all of the above with a 72 hour turnaround if urgently required.
