Meet AC Custom Grinding

Here at Aronson-Campbell Industrial Supply, selling world-class-quality cutting tools is an important part of what we do.

But it’s not all we do.

Today’s ever-changing arena of high-speed, CNC manufacturing makes it no easy undertaking to stay competitive. Manufacturers need to make their spindles as efficient as possible, which means that off-the-shelf cutters won’t always be their first choice. To hit a special profile in the bottom of a hole, all too often the exact right neck on an end mill or angle tangent to a radius on a bore just can’t be achieved with any old stock tool.

Enter Aronson-Campbell Custom Grinding, located in Spokane, Washington. Our talented tool and cutter grinders are well versed in both the modification of new tools and (if and when it makes sense) the fabrication of completely custom cutters, ground from solid blanks. Our team has a combined half century of experience in tool and cutter grinding. We rely on that experience daily for the precise, accurate manufacturing of our customer’s cutting tools.

Step drills, angular cutters, end mills, and form cutters are just a few examples of the wide variety of cutting tools we sharpen regularly. We also modify carbide saws, add custom radii to keyseat cutters, and create completely custom tools. We offer centerless grinding, stainless steel to titanium, aluminum to tool steel, and 2” or smaller diameters. We can give you a quote for one part or thousands.

With manufacturing costs constantly rising, it only makes sense to protect your investments. It’s time to pull that dulling tool out of the spindle before catastrophic failure and let our guys put a factory-like fresh regrind on it. That way, it can get right back into production and making you a profit.

As our account managers always tell our customers, “If it needs a grind, keep Aronson-Campbell in mind.”

Technology

We believe in investing in the services we offer, so we don’t limit ourselves to one kind of grinding. We have the grinding tech to help any client, even one who needs centerless grinding of completely custom parts.

Support

We get it: you’re busy. That’s why we keep all our customers’ orders on file. That way, when you discover that you need five more of the custom grinds you ordered a month ago, you can just call us up to request that. We’ll be able to reference your design files so that we can fill the order in no time.

We want to keep our customers happy, and that means learning how to be flexible. Not only do we do custom grinds, we also do them for a wide variety of industries. The Medical field uses our expertise to create custom bone drills. As you might imagine, we have clients in the aerospace, manufacturing, building construction, and automotive industries. Perhaps less expected, we provide grinding for archers and chefs! We also do work on firearms (specifically Magwell broaching) and custom parts for SKS collectors.

We also feature custom pickle-fork repair tool sets for the aerospace industry (among other highly specialized tools). Get in touch today if you have grounded aircraft in need of overhaul!
