DULL TOOL MANAGEMENT

This program provides a unique solution for customers who desire to have specific slow moving cutting tool items set aside in the regrinding process until usage for that item is reestablished.

In this program, all dull tools are sorted with only the high usage items being reground and returned to the customer.

In some cases, the resharpened tools are also kept at US Tool and we manage both dull and sharp inventory for the customer.
