What is retipping?
Retipping is a repair technique that consists in replacing the worn carbide tips of your cutting tools. Instead of buying a new tool, we remove the old tips, clean the tool body and braze new quality carbide tips.
This operation is followed by precise sharpening that restores the original performance of your tool. Retipping represents a significant saving (up to 70% compared with a new tool) while being an environmentally sound approach.
We also repair damaged tools: crack welding, straightening, replacement of worn parts and complete refurbishment.
