An indepth look on the benefits of retipping!

In challenging economic conditions, construction professionals can save on operational costs without compromising on quality, by re-tipping their worn core barrels, saws blades and floor grinding consumables – as opposed to discarding them and purchasing new ones.

Re-tipping is the process whereby diamond-tipped accessories such as core barrels, grinding wedges, grinding heads, grinding pads and blades are refurbished with brand new diamond segments, thereby resulting in a tool lasts and performs as well as a new product – at a reduced cost.

Diamond Products director Brian Clark indicates that re-tipping offers significant financial advantages, as it eliminates the need to discard steel and metal bodies, such as core bit tubing, blade centres and blocks. “Instead, these bodies are reused and customers only pay for minimal labour costs and the new diamond segment, rather than an entire tool.”

Re-tipping is also more environmentally-friendly, as the steel and metal bodies do not end up in landfills. Clark adds that Diamond Products boasts a team of skilled experts with over 20 years of experience in re-tipping. “This ensures that the job is completed to the highest standards of quality, often within 24 hours, thereby ensuring minimal downtime,” he concludes.
