Machine Tools

Cuttermasters has been excellent! Product offerings are exceptional and perform as claimed. The Tradesman Edge Apex is not a low cost option. That said, the machine quality/performance value is high. Craftsman that care about the products, build what you will purchase. Cuttermaster fosters an organizational culture based on listening and learning. They have patiently answered all questions. I really appreciate this kind of support and connection. If a person is looking to invest in an exceptional sharpening machine, then give them a solid look! I have found from inquiry, purchase, delivery, post delivery questions, exceptional value. Yes, the equipment performs at the highest level.

CutterMasters when above and beyond. I have a third party grinding machine with 16mm shaft, and had a rush custom knife order I needed to complete. Cuttermaster bored out 4 of the grinding wheels and rushed sent them. Their boring was perfect (fit the new shaft perfectly, snug but still easily slidable), and the stone surface make absolutely terrific bevels (smoother at the same grit as my other wheels). Super happy with the experience.

It was great experience to work with Cuttermasters, thank you Jeff for your support.

Excellent customer service. I love my cuttermaster machines!

I've used a lot of custom tool grinders before, but none compare to the precision of Cuttermasters. This grinder operates with the accuracy and reliability you'd expect from a top-of-the-line factory machine. Highly recommended for anyone serious about their craft!

CutterMasters is an amazing company only surpassed by their amazing products and customer support! I ordered a unit for sharpening my lathe tools and the unit turned into a sharpener for everything. It was super easy to get the parts I needed to expand the unit into everything I needed it to do now. I also can see if I ever want to sharpen anything else in the future I can expand its capabilities quickly and easily. The slow-speed unit and the CBN wheels are amazing plus the ability to get up to 2500 RPM for other jobs is amazing. Smooth, reliable, and easy.

I am the proud and happy owner of your Tradesman grinder, which I primarily use to sharpen my turning gouges, plane blades, and chisels. I absolutely love using this machine! I also own an 8" Baldor slow grinder and a Tormek T-7 with a CBN wheel. The Tradesman beats them both hands down!

Excellent response times and customer service. They were very patient with me learning all of the steps to drill sharpening. Now I am putting this to use and making money in my workshop at home.

Love, their Mk-2 D5-220 drill grinder. I've used many ,many different drill grinders including the darex XT3000 and they all seem to grind you a point .005 off center but not the MK-2. I love the simplicity, love that it uses ER25 collets, love it's size. You will need an air hose close by to keep the machine rid of grinding dust. I've only had the machine for 2 weeks and both reground drills were on center within .001 on an optical comparator. This little machine will give you a factory like split point. I highly recommend, only wish it could regrind a center drill to 60 degrees. Graduations are from 140 degrees to 90 degrees however it will grind you an 82 degree point. This little machine is a steal for under 2k. replacement wheels for colbalt/h.s.s & diamond for carbide are under 200 compared to darex's 600 wheels. This machine uses the same wheel for grinding and splitting the point so you do not need to purchase 2 separate wheels for point splitting. I cannot say enough. Absolutely love it? Pictured is a 3/8 carbide drill reground on the MK-2.

I am a toolmaker. Fabricating and repairing surgical instrumentation for 40 years. The grinder is one of the most important tools in the shop for those doing anything fancy. About 3 years ago I was at my wits end and exploring options for grinders. I came across the Toycen “Tradesman Machinist” and was stunned. Changed the way I worked. Not just a productivity tool but also allowing much greater accuracy when grinding. It is a beautiful thing to be able to apply pressure to the wheel and have only one variable – that being the operator. The machine dutifully purrs along at whatever speed you tell it to regardless of the pressure. Really a game changer. Vibration is a nasty thing. But when it affects the quality of the job it really starts to cut into your ability to be accurate. Can’t say enough about this machine. I own 2. The 1 x 42 belt sander option is very nice as well.
