Custom tools to drawing — designed, manufactured and supported
When standard tools reach their limits, we manufacture the right custom tool for your machining task. From design through CNC production to subsequent regrinding — everything from a single source. Also for one-off pieces and small batches.
THE PROBLEM
When Standard Tools Aren't Enough, Things Often Get Complicated
Losing time, money and flexibility due to long lead times and minimum order quantities?
THE SOLUTION
Design, Manufacturing and Regrinding — All Under One Roof
Brinkmann Schleiftechnik manufactures custom tools exactly to your drawing or develops them together with you based on your machining task. Thanks to a modern 5-axis machine park, experienced design and measurement technology to DIN ISO 9001, we deliver precise results, on schedule and in the quality you need for demanding machining.
  • Design to drawing or to machining task
  • Manufacturing of one-off pieces, prototypes and small batches
  • Short turnaround times
  • Future reconditioning through regrinding possible
  • Optional: Coating and Tool ID laser marking
  • Direct contact with the designer and tool experts
HOW IT WORKS
From Initial Request to a Ready-to-Use Tool
A clear process with a dedicated contact person, transparent deadlines and documented quality at every step.
1

Requirements analysis

We analyse your request and the framework conditions.

2

Design & quote

Our designer defines geometry, cutting edges and material. You receive a binding quote with a clear delivery time.

3

CNC manufacturing

Production on modern 5-axis grinding machines with µm-precise measurement technology. Every process step is documented.

4

Quality inspection

Final metrological inspection to DIN ISO 9001. Optional with inspection report and 3D measurement.

5

Optional: Coating & Tool ID

On request: PVD coating from Oerlikon Balzers and laser marking for digital traceability.

6

Delivery & regrinding

Delivery ready for use. After wear, we take care of the regrinding. Your tool stays cost-effective.

WHAT WE MANUFACTURE
Custom Tools for Every Application
We manufacture custom tools from carbide and HSS. Whether standard tools with custom geometry or completely new designs – the range is wide.
Tool Type Typical Features Application
Custom milling cuttersIndividual cutting edge shape, profile geometry, custom diametersTool and mould making, complex contours
Step drillsMulti-step drills with integrated countersinks or chamfersSeries production with multiple machining steps
Profile toolsCutting geometry precisely matched to the workpiece contourSeries production with a recurring profile
Custom countersinksCombined countersinks with individual angles and shapesSpecial machining sequences in series production

Further custom tools available on request. We'll advise you on the optimal design for your machining task.

INDUSTRIES
Who We Manufacture Custom Tools For
Whenever standard tools aren't cost-effective or technically sufficient, our custom tools step in.

Automotive

Custom drills, step tools and profile cutters for series production of engine and transmission components.

Tool and mould making

High-precision custom milling cutters for complex contours, cavities and intricate geometries in mould making.

Aerospace

Custom tools for demanding materials such as titanium, Inconel and fibre composites with documented quality.

Medical technology

Custom tools for the production of implants, instruments and precision components.

Special machinery

One-off pieces and small batches for prototypes, test setups and individual plant components.

General industry

Custom tools for suppliers, series manufacturers and all industries with individual machining tasks.

YOUR BENEFITS
Why Brinkmann for Your Custom Tool?

All from a single source

Design, manufacturing, optional coating, Tool ID and future regrinding — one contact, one process, no interface losses.

One-off pieces and small batches

No uneconomical minimum quantities. We manufacture from piece one — whether prototype, replacement tool or small batch.

Short turnaround times

Through flexible production and direct coordination between design and manufacturing, we deliver faster than the large tool manufacturers.

Future regrinding possible

As long as the geometry allows, we regrind your tools back to original dimensions after wear — economical in the long term.

Direct contact with experts

You speak directly with our designers and tool specialists — no hotline, no tickets. Technical dialogue on equal terms.

DIN ISO 9001 quality

Documented processes, measurement-based inspection and transparent quality control for every custom tool — including an inspection report on request.
