Cutter Resharpening Services
Antares resharpening is done using the same techniques and the same exacting specifications used in the manufacturing of new cutters. Each cutter is ground to the extent required to remove any imperfections, the cutting edge is restored, and the tip is accurately sized using an optical comparator. Cutter shanks are cleaned and oiled as required, and damaged or stripped set screws are replaced at no charge. Unless otherwise specified, cutters will be resharpened to the size and for the material indicated on the knob. If the knob has no marking, please specify the application and desired size. All cutter types and shank sizes can be combined for quantity discounts on resharpening

We sharpen your own cutters, they are not exchanged.

Shear Alignment Sevice

Antares offers precision sharpening of shear blades as well as a complete shear alignment service for standard 12" shears.
