ORLANDO, Fla., March 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Grainger
(NYSE: GWW), the leading broad line supplier of maintenance, repair
and operating (MRO) products serving businesses and institutions,
announced today, during the 2017 #GraingerShow, the addition of a
cutting tool reconditioning service to its metalworking
solutions.
The new offering helps manufacturing customers reduce the waste
of discarding worn end mills and drills bits by repairing the
tools' cutting edges back to original specifications for a fraction
of the cost of buying new tools. The service focuses on high-speed
steel and carbide round tooling used on CNC machines as well as
manual mills and lathes.
"Our customers have enough to think about when it comes to
running their operations, and we want them to have the peace of
mind of knowing they only need one point of contact for their
tooling needs," said Grainger Director of Metalworking Strategy,
Brad Laux. "While most regrind
services are offered by local shops, our solution provides
customers with a single source for new and reconditioned tooling
with a consistency of service and invoicing nationwide."
Grainger's metalworking expertise helps customers leverage new
technologies, ensure they have the right products when they need
them and document cost savings.
Grainger carries more than 1.5 million products, including
nearly 300,000 products for metalworking processes encompassing
cutting tools, precision measuring, welding and abrasives.
