Why Buy New When You Can Sharpen and Save?

Router bits are the workhorses of any CNC or woodworking setup—but like any cutting tool, they dull over time. That doesn’t mean you need to toss them out. Sharpening your router bits can bring them back to like-new condition at a fraction of the cost. In fact, General Cutting Tools can restore your bits for 25–50% of what it would cost to replace them.

From carbide-tipped bits (usually sharpened for less than $10) to spiral O-flutes, compression bits, and even PCD diamond bits, we handle it all with precision and care.
