LEUCO German knife steel is used with genuine 18% tungsten alloy mix for our planer/jointer knives and these can be produced at any length you may require up to 1,000mm.
Our workshop can manufacture and customise a range of tooling especially for your needs. Custom modifications can also be done to bore the arbor or locking pin holes for saw blades, change router bit profiles, and much more. Talk to us about any customised tooling requirement you may have as our sharpening and manufacturing workshop can do almost anything.
PROFILE KNIVES
All of the profile knives we produce are precision ground and we can make any custom profile from a drawing or sample of the profile you are trying to recreate. Or you can choose from any of the over 10,000 profiles we currently have.
Why is our profile service so popular? Because we produce accurate profiles which are exactly the same every time we make them. Even complex counter matching profiles are no problem for us. If you are unsure of how to create a certain profile, talk to one of our sales team who will gladly guide you through this process.
SHARPENING
Tool sharpening has undergone somewhat of a revolution with the advent of the tungsten carbide tip. Our skilled Saw doctors still retain the ability to grind almost any tool into shape from garden implements to picture framing knives or older style steel tip saws. For tungsten carbide saw blades we are now using computerised machines which calculate the position of each tip to accurately grind the same amount from every tip. The amount removed is nominal and some customers have reported up to 5 times more blade life whilst using our services over some of our cheaper competitors.
We can also repair broken or missing teeth, straighten the saw body through a process called tensioning and ensure that every tooth is aligned perfectly around the saw blade. Precision sharpening is our specialty and even the most difficult hollow ground face is no problem for us. We take every care to ensure your tool is returned in perfect condition, for example, your Planer knife sets are simultaneously ground on a long bed machine which means perfectly height matched knives every time.
Plus almost anything else, if you’re unsure please give us a call.
