Machine Knife Sharpening
At Atlas Machine Knives Ltd, we can sharpen (regrind) just about any type of machine knife. From tiny circular crush cutters to large 5 meter long guillotines. We have one of the largest surface grinders in the UK as well as a number of other CNC machines that can sharpen just about any machine knife used today. If it has a cutting edge, we can sharpen it.
We have over 20 years experience in providing sharpening services to a number of different industries. This has allowed us to gain a solid understanding of the quality requirements to produce a consistent and reliable knife sharpening service. The importance of grinding wheel type, grit size, coolant application, machine speed and their match with knife material can not be over emphasised. Our knowledge ensures that you get maximum performance and minimum downtime between blade changes.
Our sharpening services are tailored to meet your needs. They range from one off annual guillotine sharpening to working with multinational companies where we provide a weekly sharpening service for their complete range of machine knives. No job is too small or too large and we offer a competitive pricing structure.

We can supply all types of new machine knives, usually from our comprehensive stock. All our knives meet or exceed OEM specifications and can be produced in a range of materials to meet your cutting needs.
