Abrasive Wheel Modification

We are pleased to introduce our Fast Non-Standard Grinding Wheel Conversion Unit. Operating our own grinding wheel conversion unit allows us to machine standard shelf stock items to non-standard sizes within just 24 hours, should the need arise. For an additional cost of labour time only, we strive to meet your specific requirements promptly. This service has proven invaluable to many customers who benefit from ordering small batches of wheels tailored to their exact measurements. Our fast and efficient service offers unparalleled flexibility when urgent delivery times are of the essence.

Centreless Tooling Support

We believe strongly in imparting high-quality technical knowledge to our customers and importantly, we do this entirely free of charge. We’re committed to ensuring that every customer can make the best decisions, whether selecting from our extensive stock of abrasive products or requesting custom-made items. Our support includes phone consultations, on-site visits from Technical Abrasive Sales Engineers, and guidance from specialist application engineers at our manufacturing sites. This personalised, hands-on service guarantees accurate recommendations, full support and total satisfaction. 

Fast Delivery

We understand the exigencies of your business needs and appreciate how swift delivery can aid your operations and planning. To that extent, we've put structures in place to ensure Next Day and 48 Hour delivery for all items that are readily available in stock. However, there is a minor proviso. To avail of this expedited service, we ask that all orders be placed before 2.00 pm. This will give us adequate time to process and dispatch your items in a timely manner. We believe our practices would not only satisfy your immediate needs but also engender a meaningful and enduring business relationship.
