// For Machine Shops & Tool Cribs — Nationwide Mail-In Service

Stop Throwing
Money In The
Scrap Bin.

Your dull HSS drills still have 4–6 sharpenings left in them. We regrind them on a WinsloMatic to factory geometry — split point, proper relief, dead-on lip height. You pay a fraction of replacement cost.

// The Problem

Your Tool Crib Is
Bleeding Money

Most facilities toss dull HSS drills and order replacements. That's a choice — just not a cheap one. Here's what that habit actually costs.

// COST IMPACT

Replacement vs. Resharpening

A ½" HSS drill costs $8–22 new. Resharpening runs $2.50. If you run 100 drills a month, you're spending $800–2,200 instead of $250. That's $600–2,000 every month left on the table.

// TOOL LIFE

You're Scrapping Too Early

A drill that "doesn't cut anymore" usually has 4 to 6 sharpenings left. The geometry is off, not the steel. A proper regrind on a dedicated drill grinder gets you back to factory spec.

// PRODUCTIVITY

Dull Drills Cost More Than New Ones

Dull drills don't just wear out — they burn more horsepower, generate heat, work-harden the workpiece, and break at the worst possible moment. Properly resharpened drills cut cleaner and last longer between sharpenings.

// LOGISTICS

No Local Grinder Worth Trusting

Most local sharpening shops use old worn wheels and eyeball the geometry. You get inconsistent results and drills that feel sharp but cut terribly. A WinsloMatic-grade regrind is a different product.

// The Process

Simple As
Box, Ship, Drill.

No setup fees. No contracts required. Just mail your dull drills and we send them back sharp.

01

Box Your Drills

Pack your dull HSS drills in any box. Label them however you track them internally. Include a note with your contact info and drill count.

02

Mail to Us

Ship via USPS, UPS, or FedEx to our Oklahoma facility. Standard mail works fine — no special packaging required for most drill sizes.

03

We Grind

Each drill is reground on a Giddings & Lewis WinsloMatic to factory geometry: proper split point, correct relief angle, equal lip height.

04

Back to You Sharp

We ship them back with a job summary. Pro Max members get return shipping covered on orders up to 50 drills.

// The Math

What Does
One Year Cost You?

Run the numbers on a mid-size tool crib. Adjust to your actual usage.

Example: 40-Machine Shop, 100 Drills/Month

// Common Questions

Facility FAQ

What types of drills do you sharpen?

HSS (High Speed Steel) twist drills and letter drills, up to ¾" diameter. We do not currently sharpen carbide drills, step drills, spade bits, or specialty form drills.

How do we ship our drills to you?

Any carrier works — USPS, UPS, FedEx. Pack drills in a sturdy box with some padding. Include a note with your name, email, drill count, and any special instructions. Address is provided after you contact us for your first order.

What's the turnaround time?

Standard orders are processed within 7–10 business days of receipt. Pro Max members receive a 5-business-day guarantee. We'll notify you when your order ships back.

Can we set up a recurring shipment schedule?

Yes — this is the standing order feature available to Pro Max members. We'll work out a cadence that matches your facility's drill consumption cycle. Most facilities find monthly or bi-monthly standing orders eliminate all tooling procurement lag.

How many times can a drill be resharpened?

A typical HSS drill can be resharpened 4 to 6 times before the shank geometry becomes limiting. Larger drills tend to have more reground life. We'll flag any drills that are too far gone to sharpen effectively.

Do you offer purchase orders or net terms?

We're working on formal net-30 terms for larger facilities. Contact us to discuss — we accommodate larger accounts on a case-by-case basis. Currently we process membership subscriptions via card and can invoice for per-order charges.

What makes your resharpening better than a local shop?

We grind on a Giddings & Lewis WinsloMatic — a precision dedicated drill grinder, not a belt sander or bench grinder with a homemade fixture. The result is consistent geometry: correct split point, equal lip height, proper helix relief. Drills ground correctly cut cleaner, last longer, and break less.
