Sandvik Coromant has now optimized its service for reconditioning solid carbide tools. Previously, users who ordered tool reconditioning had to wait for too many communication steps between sales teams, sales centers and reconditioning centers, according to the explanation. It could therefore take several days before an offer was received and reconditioning could begin. Now a new online portal has been created that fundamentally changes the process, as they emphasize. If you have such a request, you simply log in, enter the product code of the tool and the desired number of reconditionings and you will receive a quote immediately, the company explains. Sandvik Coromant also takes care of all shipping costs, taxes and duties associated with the service for most markets, ensuring a smooth process from start to finish. The platform also allows users to select their preferred shipping packaging—either one provided by Sandvik Coromant or their own. Order notes can also be added. Once everything is entered, simply submit the request. After placing an order, the current status can be tracked at any time, as Sandvik emphasizes. The portal shows which of Sandvik Coromant's global reconditioning centers the tools will be sent to.

Still As Good As New After Being Reconditioned Three Times

The direct contact details of the responsible team are also provided. Completed orders and previous reconditioning data are automatically saved, ensuring complete transparency for ongoing production planning. This makes it easy to check how often the tools have already been reconditioned and, if necessary, plan stock levels accordingly. The Swedes are aiming for a reliable throughput time of 21 days, i.e. a good three weeks. For those who don't know, cutting tools can be reconditioned for as long as the quality requirements allow. Sandvik can therefore guarantee that tools can be reconditioned up to three times—without losing even one percent of their original performance. However, tools can be reconditioned many more times and still deliver exceptional performance, the Swedes note. Just by reconditioning cutters and the like three times, you would save at least 50 percent in costs when compared to buying a new tool. By combining transparent tool reconditioning with a functioning buy-back program, the value of the tools can be maximized and sustainability goals can be achieved at the same time.
