Regrinding Process

Sustainability affects us all, even in the world of industrial manufacturing. In toolmaking in particular, it makes sense to use durable and reusable tools—they not only save money but are also good for the planet.


Our regrinding process is like a wellness program for your tools. They become sharp and ready for use again, instead of being sent into retirement. This has many advantages:

  • Fast Return: Get a re-sharpened drill as early as the day after tomorrow.
  • OSG Performance: Your tool is reconditioned by the manufacturer - guaranteed to be of the same quality as a new tool.
  • Reduce inventory: Less storage space required, greater efficiency, lower tool costs.
  • Price transparency: Price visible immediately—no inquiries or quotes needed.
  • Reduce material waste: Refurbish old tools instead of buying new ones—smart and eco-friendly!
  • Save money: Regrinded tools are cheaper than new ones—leaving you with more budget for that next coffee machine!
  • Protect the environment: Less waste, less resource consumption—Mother Nature says thank you.
  • Boost efficiency: Top-notch tools last longer and perform better—your machines will love it.

By continuously improving our processes and technologies and adopting sustainable practices, we are creating the best possible conditions for the mechanics of tomorrow. vb’s regrinding process demonstrates that technological progress and sustainability go together perfectly—like a wrench and a nut.

Promoting and integrating such sustainable processes is not only environmentally friendly but also makes good economic sense. This is how we ensure a bright (and sharp) future for everyone.

Unleash your full potential!

Our regrinding service restores our best-selling products to top condition:

  • ADO-10D – ADO-50D
  • ADO-SUS-3D - ADO-SUS-8D
  • ADF, ADFLS und ADFO
  • HYP-HPO

We also offer a regrinding service for all other OSG solid carbide drills, though this does not include a replacement process and has a longer lead time.

For larger quantities (>10 pieces per diameter), we also offer a solution where you get your exact drills back.

Here's how it works:

  • For each drill of the specified types purchased in the last 12 months, you are entitled to two regrinding services.
  • Order your re-sharpened drill bit in your user account under the "Regrinding" section.
  • Return your drill to Vischer & Bolli in Dübendorf.
  • Get a re-ground drill back the day after tomorrow - not yours, but one that has been re-ground no more than twice and meets the minimum drilling depth requirement (e.g., 5xD).
