SGS sales engineers and technical team explore their customers’ goals and work with them to reduce set-up times and machining cycle times, improve quality and process reliability through the design and manufacture of specialised tools. It is this that sets SGS apart from competitors. SGS do more than just produce tools; they employ a highly skilled technical sales team, who often think of completely different ways of giving the customer what they need rather than just using off-the-shelf products.
SGS offer tools that, quite simply, do the job better and at greater machining efficiencies. All their tools – catalogue, modified and specials are made from solid carbide. Carbide material enables faster speeds and feeds. It also retains its hardness at higher temperatures, so it can be worked harder to cut faster with less wear.

- Catalogue Tools: SGS keep in stock thousands of different end mills and drills to suit your requirements.
- Modified Tooling: This is where customer-specific modifications are applied to catalogue cutting tools.
- Special Tooling: This is where cutting tools are produced specifically to suit the customers’ application requirements.
- Coatings: Sputter coatings for cutting tools used for hard, high-speed and dry machining under elevated loads.
- Re-grinds: When you buy and use SGS products, they offer a re-grinds service.
