Better Edge

Better Edge was founded by Bill Shaffer in 1998. Bill has a long and experienced history in this aspect of cutting tool services. His 25 years' experience includes his involvement with the development of Kennametal's solid round cutting tool manufacturing facility, which provided original production and regrinding services for their factories and hole making customers. Over time, he developed expert processes and modified machine designs to optimize productivity and specification compliance accuracy. Simply sharpening an edge wasn't good enough. In order to provide similar performance to a new tool, it is critical to replicate the original manufacturer's specifications.
​
With state-of-the-art, specially designed CNC 5-Axis grinders, highly sophisticated inspection equipment and in-house coating capabilities, toolmaker and machinists  can benefit from Better Edge's superior work by getting better performance, longer tool life and more regrinds per tool.  Better Edge serves end users throughout the United States from Automotive & Transportation, Aerospace & Defense, Heavy Equipment, Tool Manufacturing, Medical and Energy industries.
