♻️ Get More Life from Your Tools
The NEXGEN Regrind Program helps customers extend carbide tool life and reduce total tooling costs.
NEXGEN can recondition tooling to restore geometry and performance, helping production customers get more value from every tool.
🛠️ Custom Tools for Production
Have an application where an off-the-shelf tool isn’t enough?
NEXGEN designs and manufactures custom cutting tools for production customers, with solutions focused on reducing cycle time, combining operations, improving tool life and solving difficult machining challenges.
Bring us your application. We’ll talk solutions.
🧪 Proprietary In-House Coatings
NEXGEN continues to invest in advanced in-house coating technology, providing greater control over the substrate, geometry, edge preparation and coating that ultimately enters your spindle.
That means coatings engineered around the application—not simply applied to the tool.
🏗️ NEXGEN Is Growing
NEXGEN is also moving forward with a new 30,000-square-foot building expansion to support continued growth in manufacturing capacity, technology and customer support. 40+ new machines, coating center, QC, increased stocking and more!
