How regrinds work
Dull tools in. Sharp tools out.
1
Send us your dull tools
Ship them in or drop them off in Wichita. Any brand, no sorting, no minimums.
2
We inspect & grind
Every tool is inspected and restored to original geometry, recoated through Oerlikon Balzers. Anything that can't be ground comes back to you anyway, unground and uncharged.
3
Back sharp
Packed safe for shipping. You pay per tool, only for what we ground, at the rates you already read.
No contracts, no minimums, no quote-request black hole. Send dull tools, get sharp tools, pay only for what we ground.
Straight talk
If we can't grind it, you don't pay, and you get it back.
Regrinding is honest work on used tools, and used carbide doesn't always cooperate. Some tools arrive too damaged to save. Here's our whole policy on that, and it fits in one sentence:
Every tool you send comes back sharpened if it could be, unground if it couldn’t, and you’re only invoiced for the tools we actually grind.
No credit formulas, no scrap percentages, no judgment calls. Open the box, count the sharp ones, and that's your invoice. Your carbide stays your carbide, ground or not, and worn carbide has real scrap value, so it's yours to recycle. If you'd rather not get dead tools back, just say so when you send them and we'll recycle them for you.
Shipping's flexible too: the prepaid label is standard, but if you'd rather run your own UPS account, or need a box back Next Day Air, just say so.
The Star Tool way
Dull tools in. Sharp tools out. That's the whole deal.
How we run regrinds
- Ship your dull tools straight to the floor that grinds them, no middleman, no sorting
- You give the go-ahead, we get to work, and your tools ship back sharp
- Standard rates published before you ship; program pricing runs below them
- Any brand. Seriously, any brand.
- Sharpened if it can be, unground and uncharged if it can't
That's the system: a price list you've already read, and carbide that goes back to work instead of the scrap bin.
We've been grinding cutting tools in Wichita since 1966. This is the shortest path between a dull tool and a sharp one.
The numbers
Every price, published. Read it before you ship.
Seven end mill prices, six drill prices, one coating chart. No add-ons, no asterisks. The price you read is the price you're invoiced, tool after tool.
worst case, you're out nothing
Read enough? Send us your dullest tools.
No contracts, no minimums. If a tool isn't worth regrinding, it comes back unground, and you don't pay a dime for it.
