Tool grinding is as a section of grinding a cutting manufacturing processes of surfaces with abrasives.

Cutting tools for separating machining in metal, wood, - and plastics are made ​​operational again after blunting by nachschärfendes loops by the cutting tool is brought back into the correct blade geometry. This regrinding, the quality of the surface at the edge restores and increases by increasing the total operating time, the efficiency of the tool. Can be sharpened tools such as milling cutters, drills, taps, dies, reamers, countersinks and saw blades.

For tool grinding in a broader sense also includes the new manufacture of cutting tools. Some of the tools are presented works by coarser methods such as rolling or milling before the last operation, the actual cutting edge is ground, some tools are made ​​entirely from solid round bar with tool loops.
