About Kaindl Schleiftechnik
Kaindl Schleiftechnik Reiling GmbH is a family-owned company based in Königsbach-Stein (Baden-Württemberg) that has been developing and manufacturing grinding technology products since 1968. From its beginnings with simple abrasive files, the range has grown to include hand-held grinding tools for trade and DIY users, professional sharpening and grinding machines, and a 4-axis CNC universal grinding machine. The machines are not produced as standard off the assembly line, but are designed to customer requirements and manufactured at the Königsbach site. Applications include resharpening and grinding of spiral, step, sheet-metal and wood drill bits made of HSS or carbide, core drills from Ø 12 to 100 mm, taper countersinks, carbide-tipped saw blades from Ø 100 to 600 mm, circular knives from Ø 100 to 400 mm, and TIG tungsten electrodes. The grinding wheels feature CBN (boron nitride) and diamond grains. Customers include industry, trades, DIY users, locking technology and woodworking. The offering is complemented by consulting, commissioning, maintenance, repair, spare parts, a factory outlet and a resharpening service for saw blades.
