Raynor Tool Services specialises in new tool manufacture and CNC regrinding.

Raynor Tools began regrinding and sharpening cutting tools in 1981. Initially, the business focussed on servicing the needs of manufacturers in and around Shropshire and Staffordshire.

As the company grew, our geographical reach increased and we started working with clients based in the West Midlands, Merseyside and Greater Manchester.

On a regular basis our employees visit clients to collect worn tools and return restored tools. Typically, we offer a weekly turn-around service: returning recovered tools one week after collection. Urgently needed tools are returned asap by carrier.

Our milling cutter regrinding and sharpening service is operating very successfully and the high percentage of repeat business proves the methods we adopt achieve the savings customers are looking for.

CNC tool grinding equipment

In 1998 we purchased our first CNC tool grinding machine from Strausak, Switzerland. Its installation allowed us to achieve new levels of quality and consistency particularly in the regrinding and sharpening of carbide milling cutters.

Installation of a Walter Helitronic Power CNC machine in 2004 enabled the company to competitively manufacture tools and we now specialise in supplying small batches, up to 5 off, with very short lead times. Our priority is to achieve short lead times and we do not tie up our machines with long production runs.

A further CNC tool grinding machine is planned for installation in 2008.
