Regrind Services

Please note the following to alleviate any confusion prior to grinding the tools:

• Once received, tools will be inspected and quoted. GARR TOOL will then submit the quote for approval
  before any work is started (unless enclosed P.O. states to proceed).
• Paperwork MUST specify how tools are to be reground and if to be recoated.
  • The term regrind, re-sharpen or recondition means to regrind the end and O.D.
  • End only means grind end only – do not grind O.D.
  • O.D. only means grind O.D. only – the end of the tool is not reground.
• “As Needed” – GARR TOOL’s discretion.
• If tools are to be reground with specifications different from original, it must be noted on the packing list.
• The minimum diameter or flute length must be specified. It will otherwise be up to GARR TOOL’s
  discretion.
• Specify the GARR TOOL distributor when tools are sent in from an end user.
• GARR TOOL recommends the diameter of an end mill to be reground a maximum of 10% below the
  original diameter.
• Reground tools may not equal new tool performance due to changes in tool geometries and
  dimensions.
• Reground endmills will be ground within .002” TIR (exception: altered flats).
• Scrap tools will be returned with the tools that are reground unless otherwise noted.
• The HSAL and 242M series will have a ground O.D. margin
• The VRX series will have a standard conventional O.D. relief.
• Tools must be properly packed in a box with proper packing materials.
  (25-pound maximum box weight)
• For larger orders, tools should be bundled or packed in smaller boxes inside the main box. Use enough
  packing in the box to prevent damage or shifting (25 lb. max. weight)

• If tools are not packaged correctly, we reserve the right to return the package to you.
• Containers or cases used for shipping tools will not be returned unless requested.
