Sharpening

Most Vogel tools are designed to be sharpenable.  Because many tools contain compound angles, splines and other geometry that must be maintained, we strongly recommend your return your tools to Vogel for sharpening.  Please wrap your tooling securely and send to:

Attn: Sharpenings

Vogel Tool & Die, 5 Laura Drive, Addison, IL 60101

Please enclose a name / address / phone & fax number inside the package so we know who to send the quote to, (normally via fax).

Don't forget to insure your shipment for its replacement cost, in case it is lost or damaged in transit

Sharpenings may take up to 1 week to quote and 2 - 3 weeks to perform the work, once the quote is approved and the sharpening orders. This will of course vary, based on our workload at the time.  You may wish to consider purchasing a replacement part first, so sharpening time is not an issue.  This will also let you perform future sharpenings at your convenience, since you will always have a spare.

Costs are based on condition and approximately 25% of the tools we receive are too worn to be be sharpened.  More frequent sharpenings mean less material must be removed each time and increase the tool's total life.
