Family-Run Carbide Drill Bit Sharpening in Saugerties, NY
DG Carbide Services helps drilling businesses make informed decisions about worn carbide bits—before they commit to buying replacements.
From button sharpening and replacement to eligible drill bit refurbishment, we focus on what the tool needs, what the job requires, and whether service makes practical sense.
Why DG Carbide
A worn bit is a decision—not automatically a replacement.
Drilling is hard on tooling. Worn buttons, damaged cutting surfaces, and replacement lead times all affect what happens next on a job.
Our role is to help you evaluate the bit you already own. That starts with the size, manufacturer, visible wear, timing and transport details. Then we can discuss whether sharpening, button replacement or refurbishment is appropriate—or whether a new bit is the more sensible choice.
We don't assume every bit is repairable, and we don't treat every job as the same. The right recommendation depends on the condition of your specific tooling.
What we do
Services for working drill crews and equipment managers.
Get clarity on the right service for your bit. Compatibility and service scope are assessed case by case.

Carbide Button Replacement

How we work
Start with the facts about your tooling.
- 01. Tell us what you have. Manufacturer or model, bit diameter, quantity, condition and photographs help us get started.
