Yamamoto Sheet Metal Co., Ltd. introduced the drill grinder because they wanted to continue using their beloved items as long as possible.

Even in an age where mass production and mass consumption have become the norm and it's common to immediately replace broken items, the company maintains the stance of "repairing and making use of what can be repaired." Behind this lies the desire to treat tools and machinery not as mere consumables, but as "important partners who work together." This philosophy is also reflected in the company's history of supporting the lives of customers through repairs to cars and agricultural machinery, and conveys the warmth and conviction that is unique to Yamamoto Body Shop.

The deciding factor in the decision to purchase the drill grinder was that it felt "solid and had a mechanism that could be used for a long time with confidence." It wasn't just the appearance and specifications that drove the decision, but the intuitive feeling that it was "a reliable device."

In keeping with the spirit of continuing to use old things, it seems that forklifts and other machinery are sometimes passed on and used.

①Even short drills can be sharpened, reducing the number of times you need to replace them

②Can also grind drills with special tip shapes such as candle-shaped drills

Dull drills can be quickly restored to like-new sharpness. Previously, drills were sharpened by hand, which inevitably had its limitations, and shortened drills were particularly difficult to sharpen, ultimately rendering them unusable in many cases. However, with the introduction of the sharpening machine, even shortened drills can now be accurately sharpened and reused over and over again. As a result, not only has the tool's lifespan been significantly extended, but unnecessary replacements have also been reduced, leading to cost savings. Furthermore, because sharp drills can always be used on-site, the effects of stable machining precision and improved work efficiency have been realized.

It is possible to sharpen drills with special tip shapes, such as candle-shaped drills. Special-shaped drills are more expensive than general-purpose drills, and they often become difficult to handle when worn out. However, this sharpening machine can accurately sharpen even difficult shapes, so it can now be used for a wider range of tasks than ever before.

The benefits of introducing the drill grinder go beyond simply introducing the machine; it is also deeply connected to Yamamoto Body Metal Co., Ltd.'s belief that "we want to cherish the things we love and make the most of them for a long time." The attitude of using tools to the very end is a reflection of the company's passion for its work, which has seen it continue to repair customers' precious items such as cars and agricultural machinery, and it can truly be said that "the spirit of cherishing tools improves the quality of manufacturing."
