Get custom tools faster and easier than ever before

Website users can create customized tools using a new online service

Sandvik Coromant customers can now customize a cutting tool online, without having to meet with a company representative. As a result, the time required to place an order has been significantly reduced, which in turn reduces the overall tool delivery time.

Many manufacturers can benefit from using cutting tools that are not available from stock. The most common example is when a specific, non-standard hole diameter is specified. Producing such a feature typically requires initial drilling followed by boring to the desired size. However, by performing a minor modification of an existing drill bit from stock, the manufacturer can make the hole to specification using only one drill bit. 

Previously, the process of requesting a quote and ordering custom solutions was only available by either downloading, completing and submitting a physical form, or with the help of a Sandvik Coromant representative. From April 1, 2019, however, any registered Sandvik Coromant website user can log in and use the newly developed feature for free in their browser. Users can go through a series of guided steps for customizing the standard cutting tool to meet specific requirements. In the final step of the process, the customer simply places the order.

"The world of manufacturing is changing, with an increasing need for greater tooling flexibility" says Brian Davis, Manager of Global Sales Processes, Sandvik Coromant. "This trend is also affecting cutting tool suppliers. Providing customized cutting tools requires the development of advanced processes, and making this customization option available to all of our customers is a bold step, but one that we know will provide many benefits."

Clearly, a faster tool customization process translates directly into faster tool delivery, without losing time talking to representatives.

Other benefits include the availability of a greater number of products on the website (in addition to standard products), while there is also a new potential to review custom products sent through the representative. 

As with drilling, the new online service also applies to cut-off and groove cutting, milling and tool system products.
