The 20/80 Challenge: Are you measuring what really matters?

At Quickgrind, we believe the true cost of cutting tools is not the price you pay to buy them, but the value they unlock in your process.

That is why we developed the 20/80 Challenge: a smarter way to evaluate your tooling strategy. Instead of focusing on the 20% of your spend that is obvious, we help you uncover the hidden 80% of costs – setup times, scrap, downtime, inefficient cycle times – and eliminate them.

If you are ready to rethink total cost of ownership and unlock Infinite Possibilities for your productivity, take the 20/80 Challenge today.

QuickLab: Where custom tooling starts with intent
Every high-performance tool begins with understanding.

Through QuickLab, each custom tool design is developed around the specific application, starting with the part, the machining strategy and the performance requirements that matter most.

From there, geometries are refined to exact requirements, key design features are engineered into the solution, and the tool is modelled before production begins. Every detail is measured, verified and translated into clear drawings for client sign-off before manufacture.

It is a complete route from concept to manufacturable design, giving customers confidence that their tooling has been considered, checked and approved before it reaches the machine.

Custom tooling. Engineered with purpose. Designed with intent.

UWR Racing: You’re invited to Oulton Park for Round 2!

Following a strong start to the 2026 Fine Cut Radical Cup UK season at Brands Hatch, Quickgrind is inviting clients, partners and motorsport fans to join us in supporting the University of Wolverhampton Racing Team at Round 2, taking place at Oulton Park International on Saturday 20 June.

Why not come along, meet the team, enjoy a great day of racing and see first-hand the kind of next-generation engineering talent Quickgrind is proud to support.

As you can see from the photos from Brands Hatch, the opening round delivered plenty of excitement, including strong pace, competitive racing and a well-earned podium finish for UWR Racing. It was a great start to the campaign, and a clear sign of the preparation, precision and teamwork going into this season.

Now attention turns to Oulton Park, one of the UK’s most exciting and challenging circuits. Fast, flowing and technical, it promises to be another brilliant test for the team, both on track and behind the scenes.

We’d be delighted to see you there. Come along, support UWR Racing and enjoy what promises to be a fantastic day of motorsport!

One system. Multiple possibilities.

ModX is Quickgrind’s modular tooling system, designed to bring greater flexibility, efficiency and control to modern machining.

By combining a reusable shank with interchangeable heads, ModX gives manufacturers a smarter way to approach tooling. It helps reduce stockholding, simplify tool management and respond more quickly to changing applications, all while maintaining the performance and precision demanded on the shop floor.

It’s a practical solution for shops looking to improve versatility without compromising on quality. Whether the focus is productivity, cost control or making better use of available tooling resources, ModX is built to support a more agile approach.

It’s also a way to manage carbide price volatility and reduce the demand for virgin carbide.

Like everything at Quickgrind, ModX is backed by engineering thinking, application knowledge and a commitment to helping customers find the right solution for the job.

ModX from Quickgrind. Modular by design. Practical by nature.

In modern dental manufacturing, better results come from better collaboration.

That is a theme Dan Barber of Element Digital Dental Solutions speaks to clearly in this interview, reflecting on the value of working closely with tooling partners to refine machining strategies and improve performance across the production process.

Having worked with Quickgrind over an extended period, Dan highlights not only the quality of the tools themselves, but the wider support that sits behind them. In today’s dental sector, where workflows are becoming more connected, more data-driven and more demanding, tooling is no longer just about supply. It is about helping laboratories achieve greater consistency, efficiency and confidence in day-to-day machining.

For Element Digital, that includes using a combination of standard off-the-shelf tools and more bespoke solutions, depending on the application. That flexibility, backed by reliable technical support, helps the team respond to different materials, machining challenges and production requirements without compromising on quality.

It is a strong example of how collaboration between tooling specialists and dental laboratories can deliver practical gains, from improved machining performance and process stability to better alignment between tooling and real-world manufacturing needs.

As dental workflows continue to evolve, partnerships like this are becoming an increasingly important part of staying competitive.

Tooling that supports production and innovation in digital dental workflows

As dental manufacturing continues to evolve, the role of tooling is becoming more strategic than ever. Precision, consistency and efficiency all matter, but so does the ability to support new workflows, new materials and more advanced machining strategies.

That is something Tomasz Iwanski of EvoDental knows well.

Working closely with Quickgrind on CNC machining strategies, Tomasz highlights the growing importance of tooling in both day-to-day production and long-term innovation. As digital dental workflows continue to develop, with increasing focus on automation, AI and process optimisation, the right tooling can make a significant difference to surface finish, reliability and overall process performance.

For Evo Dental, this is especially important in patient-specific applications such as implant dentistry, where accuracy and durability are critical. Every part of the process needs to be optimised to achieve the consistent, high-quality results that advanced dental manufacturing demands.

That is why collaboration matters. By working closely with laboratories like Evo Dental, Quickgrind is helping to refine machining strategies, improve tool life, reduce consumable costs and develop bespoke solutions for demanding materials including zirconia, PMMA and titanium.

It is a strong example of how tooling has moved beyond being a simple consumable. In modern dental workflows, it is a key part of performance, innovation and continuous improvement.
