Machine Knife Sharpening

We can sharpen (regrind) just about any type of machine knife from tiny circular crush cutters to large 5 metre long guillotines. We have one of the largest surface grinders in the UK and other CNC machines that can sharpen just about any machine knife used today. Our sharpening services are tailored to meet your needs. They range from one-off annual guillotine sharpening to providing multinational companies with a weekly service for their complete range of machine knives. No job is too small or too large and we offer a competitive pricing structure.

Over 20 years experience in providing sharpening services to a number of different industries has allowed us to gain a solid understanding of the quality requirements to produce a consistent and reliable service. The importance of grinding wheel type, grit size, coolant application, machine speed and their match with knife material cannot be over emphasised. Our knowledge ensures that you get maximum performance and minimum downtime between blade changes. Our fully equipped workshop and skilled engineers ensure our sharpening services are to the highest possible specification always matching or exceeding OEM tolerances. Our machine tools include over 14 different precision CNC grinders.

You can rest assured that we won’t excessively grind your knives, we just remove the wear, ensuring you get maximum life from them. Within the North of England we can collect, sharpen, and deliver your knives back to you normally within 7 days.
