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.

A few things to know

Questions about DG Carbide

Can every carbide drill bit be refurbished?

No. The bit's condition, design and damage determine which services are appropriate. Contact us with details and photos for an initial discussion.

Do you only serve businesses near Saugerties?

No. We accept inquiries from customers who want to ship eligible tooling to us from elsewhere in the U.S. Contact us for instructions before sending anything.

Do you work with large-diameter rock drill bits?

Tell us the manufacturer, model, diameter and visible condition—including 15-, 18- or 20-inch bits—and we'll discuss compatibility and an inspection or quote where appropriate.

Can you guarantee a bit will last as long as new?

No. Serviceability and performance depend on the bit, condition, drilling application and type of service. We can help compare the service options and costs without promising a specific life extension.
