When the coating wears out, many people choose to buy new ones \u2013 but there is often a more cost-effective alternative: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diamantprofil.com\/en\/ombelaggningsservice\/\" target=\"_self\">ombelaggning<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For electroplated diamond and CBN tools, recoating means you can reuse the tool body and get back the same functionality as a new product \u2013 at a lower cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does resurfacing mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recoating involves removing the worn diamond or CBN coating and replacing it with a new coating on the existing body (often steel).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The tool regains its function and performance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The same geometry and fit are retained<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In many cases, the tool will be as good as new \u2013 sometimes even better.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A big advantage: the tool can be recoated several times<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the biggest advantages of electroplated tools is that they can be recoated multiple times, as long as the body is intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means that one and the same tool can be used for a long time \u2013 which provides both economic and practical advantages in production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When is resurfacing worthwhile?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Resurfacing is particularly profitable in the following situations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. When the tool has a valuable body<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Special tools or customized solutions are often expensive to replace \u2013 here, resurfacing has a great effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. In case of recurring production<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tools that are used continuously wear out regularly \u2013 making recoating a natural part of maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. When only the coating is worn<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the body still has the correct dimensions and tolerances, there is no reason to discard the entire tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. When you want to reduce downtime<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reusing existing tools can often provide shorter lead times compared to new manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resurfacing vs. buying new<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Factor<\/th><th>Re-coating<\/th><th>New tool<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Cost<\/td><td>Lower<\/td><td>Higher<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Delivery time<\/td><td>Often shorter<\/td><td>Could be longer<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Performance<\/td><td>Like new (sometimes better)<\/td><td>New<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Life-span<\/td><td>Can be extended over multiple cycles<\/td><td>A life cycle<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.diamantprofil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fore-efter-ombelaggning-diamantprofil.jpg\" alt=\"F\u00f6re och efter ett kugghjul d\u00e4r v\u00e4nster sida visar ett rostigt och slitet kugghjul med grov yta och h\u00f6ger sida visar samma kugghjul rengjort och \u00e5terst\u00e4llt med en j\u00e4mn m\u00f6rk metallfinish och skarpa kuggar\" class=\"wp-image-3229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.diamantprofil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fore-efter-ombelaggning-diamantprofil.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.diamantprofil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fore-efter-ombelaggning-diamantprofil-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.diamantprofil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fore-efter-ombelaggning-diamantprofil-768x404.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.diamantprofil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fore-efter-ombelaggning-diamantprofil-18x9.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A more sustainable solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Resurfacing is not only economical \u2013 it is also a more sustainable option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By reusing the tool body:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>reduces material consumption<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>reduces waste<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>reduces climate impact<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, a 2 kg grinding wheel can save around 4 kg of CO\u2082 by re-coating instead of being manufactured anew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When is it better to choose a new tool?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recoating is not always the right choice.
