Cutting Tool Regrinding & Custom Tool Grinding
for Aerospace and Defense
Tool Grinding, Regrinding, Coating, and Engineering Support for demanding manufacturers —with a strong focus on aerospace and defense.
ASG, short for American Specialty Grinding, supports manufacturers that need more from their cutting tools. From custom tool grinding and CNC cutting tool manufacturing to regrinding, resharpening, refurbishment, and PVD coating, we help customers get more life and more consistency from every tool.
As part of the Tru-Edge TE+ family, ASG connects engineering, make, regrind, and coat services into one tool life management process. That means the same team helping you solve a tooling challenge can also support the tool’s design, production, reconditioning, coating, and long-term performance.
Cutting Tool Grinding, Regrinding & Coating Capabilities
ASG provides a complete suite of TE+ services for cutting tool performance: engineering support, custom tool manufacturing, cutting tool regrinding, tool refurbishment, and PVD coating. Whether you need a new custom tool or want to restore performance to an existing tool, ASG helps support the full life of your tooling.
Cutting Tool Engineering & Application Support
ASG works with manufacturing engineers, process engineers, and toolrooms to match cutting tools to the material, machine, operation, and production goal. Our team helps optimize tool geometry, reduce tool changes, improve consistency, and support new product launches.
Custom Tool Grinding &
Cutting Tool Manufacturing
ASG designs and manufactures custom cutting tools for demanding parts, tight tolerances, and high-performance applications. Our CNC tool grinding capabilities support complex geometries, round tools, specials, and material-specific cutting tool designs.
Cutting Tool Regrinding & Resharpening
ASG helps manufacturers extend tool life and reduce tooling costs through cutting tool regrinding, resharpening, and refurbishment. We regrind drills, end mills, and other round tools to restore geometry, cutting performance, and batch-to-batch consistency.
Coating Services for Cutting Tools
ASG pairs cutting tool geometry with coating solutions selected for the customer’s material, application, and performance goals. Our coating services help improve wear resistance, tool life, cutting consistency, and performance in demanding production environments.
Quality-Driven Tool Grinding for Aerospace, Defense & Demanding Manufacturing
ASG builds quality into every step of the cutting tool process, from engineering and CNC grinding to regrinding, coating, inspection, and communication. Customers rely on ASG for repeatable tool performance, tight-tolerance support, traceability, and tools that are ready to run in demanding production environments.
Documented Grinding, Regrind & Coating Processes
Standardized procedures for engineering, grinding, and coating help ensure consistent results across every batch.
In-Process and Final Tool Inspection
Tools are checked during production and verified at the end so critical dimensions, edge condition, and geometry meet your specs.
Aerospace & Defense Tooling Experience
We understand the requirements and documentation expectations of highly regulated industries and build our processes accordingly.
Tool Traceability & Order Communication
Clear communication, order status visibility, and documentation available when you need it.
