Sandblasting Cutting Tools
Cutting tools must work precisely—and maintain that precision over a long tool life. Even before hard coating application, uniform surface quality is critical to whether a coating bonds reliably and appears visually high-quality and uniform. Edge rounding tailored to the application increases tool life. This in turn increases productivity in operation.
This is precisely where micro-scale sandblasting comes in.
The challenge:
Achieving uniform edge rounding. Reproducibly, with process reliability, and without damaging the tool.
Especially with very fine blasting media, process reliability and repeatability are of critical importance.
At Sandmaster, we round cutting edges precisely in the range of 20–30 microns.
This is only possible with:
- finest blasting media with a particle size of mesh 500 (approx. 12 microns)
- precisely calibrated blasting parameters
- and stable, repeatable processes
In this way, the cutting geometry is preserved. With maximum control.
The result is cutting tools with:
- a uniform surface
- defined edge rounding
- longer service life
- stable operational performance
Whether gear hobs, indexable inserts, shank tools, or broaches—from individual pieces to large-scale production, manual or automated.
Process reliability doesn't happen by chance.
It is the result of experience, precision, and understanding of details at the micron level. Sandmaster has supported manufacturers and processors of cutting tools worldwide for years—with solutions that work in daily practice. And endure.
