Manufacturing and Sharpening of Cutting Tools

Despite the major progress made concerning the construction of tools, the work executed by the important figure of the blacksmith was still extremely manual and used human force and animal-driven engines. In this scenario, British engineer James Watt revolutionized the industry in 1769 by perfecting the existing steam engines. From the modifications by Watt, steam engines started moving the first locomotives, boats, plants, as well as foundries and coal mines, and thus formed the base for the Industrial Revolution. This great invention would forever change the way factories produced and sharpened cutting tools.

With the evolution throughout the years, the tools were moved by the engine, whether steam-, liquid fuel- or electric-driven. This allowed the simultaneous operation of several hammers, drillers and scrapers, an automation that was impossible before. Also, there was an immeasurable increase in speed, precision of movements and time of operation from the machines, crucial factors for the evolution of the metallurgy industry.

Tool Manufacturing Structure at Samot: application of technologies for our clients’ projects.

Samot stands out for having high technology and different types of machines in its manufacturing center for building and sharpening its own tools. These tools contribute to optimize your machining processes, from a technical team dedicated to the project, manufacturing and sharpening of tools as necessary.

We also offer a complete structure for manufacturing tools, delivering more agility for the development of new projects and more competitiveness through reduction of costs in our manufacturing processes. The resharpening process can be repeated several times, allowing a single tool to be used for a long time with the same precision of a new device. In this process, we also apply coating when necessary, which increases the tool performance, gaining in productivity and work life.
