Carbide Cutting Tools & Tooling Solutions

Custom Cutting Tools, Designed and Manufactured in Jubail.

When a standard tool does not suit the application, Shaheen Arabia designs, manufactures, modifies and regrinds carbide and brazed tools around the material, geometry and production requirement.

Bespoke to your application Designed, ground and reground in Jubail.

Introduction

Application-Based Cutting Tool Engineering

Tooling performance depends on the relationship between tool geometry, material grade, cutting conditions, machine capability and the workpiece. Shaheen Arabia’s Cutting Tools division works with customers to develop tools that are unavailable locally, improve a difficult process or restore worn tools to usable condition.

Local manufacture and regrinding shorten the supply path for tooling that would otherwise be imported, and let Shaheen Arabia reproduce obsolete or non-standard tools no longer available from the original source. Regrinding restores usable geometry and extends tool life, and where the tool condition allows it typically costs less than buying a new tool.

Hot tapping

Hot-tapping cutters and pilot drills

Brazed carbide hot-tapping and crown cutters with matching pilot drills, made to the fitting size and pipe material, and reground when worn.

Regrinding & refurbishment

Restore usable geometry, extend tool life.

The objective is to restore usable geometry and extend tool life where the tool condition permits. Ask about regrinding turnaround for your tools.
