To mark this expansion in service and provide customers with added incentive to tread this path, Ceratizit UK & Ireland is offering five tools for the price of three on all new orders for a limited period.
“Fast turnaround is paramount when customers are looking for special tools, so we have streamlined the process to keep lead times to a minimum,” says Ceratizit UK & Ireland’s technical manager, Shaun Thornton. “Customers simply complete a form giving details of the tool required, email it directly to Ceratizit and we will respond within two working days with a quotation and PDF drawing of the tool for confirmation. The tools would then be delivered within three weeks, upon receipt of a purchase order.”
Solid carbide tools included in this service include end-mills and profile mills, drills and step-drills between 3 and 32 mm diameter, along with reamers and stepped-reamers between 2 and 20 mm diameter. All can be provided with a coating suitable for the application.
To make programming easier Ceratizit, can also issue detailed CAD drawings, once the order has been received. For these special tools there is a minimum order quantity of three pieces of any individual tool, but for every three tools ordered, Ceratizit UK & Ireland will add in an additional two tools, free of charge, during the initial offer period.
“By streamlining the special tooling manufacture, we can not only deliver a rapid response for special solid carbide tools, we are also able to be highly cost-competitive for these low-volume items,” says Thornton.
