Carbide cutter sharpening??


Recommended Posts

Boxed them and sent them to Mastergrave, of course when I tidy my desk I find a nameplate I missed, customer is fine though, text her when it's ready...

 

thanks for the replies...

 

So you don't keep a spare? What if they get lost in the post? What if they can't be sharpened?

Problem looking for somewhere to happen.

Fortunately I'm not a pessimistic kind of guy, I'm confident they will get back to me.

 

I run a small mail order company and have sent over 300 parcels in the last 6 months, none of them have been lost.

 

Lucky??

 

Maybe, but life is too short for what if's, what about's and doing things in dribs and drabs...

I'm looking through old threads on this topic - I will send some blunt cutters/tips to Pantograph Services or Mastergrave. I still have a couple questions

A few people have mentioned that they do sharpening in-house - what machine is used for this? is it something like a tormek grinder with a jig, or a more specialised tool?

Also, is there anywhere to buy the gravograph twin-cut inserts, other than direct from Gravograph? [and any idea on their price? not sure if it's worth the hassle of swapping tips if only saving a few quid]

I brought a Tormek T8 a few months ago from www.axminster.co.uk   I phoned them first and said I would like a demo they spent best part a hour with me . And after the demo i new it was easy and a profitable business, since then I have sharpened  well over a 150 knives and starting to get a few tools in too i.e. Chisels, Axes etc etc .

hope this helps
