How botek America Works
botek America imports and distributes botek® deep-hole drilling tools engineered in Germany, provides application engineering support, and resharpens gundrills in-house at our Roselle, Illinois facility.
A few things worth knowing before you reach out:
- All tooling is manufactured by botek® in Germany and imported by botek America for U.S. distribution
- Gundrill resharpening is done in-house in USA, using a 5-axis grinding machine
- Coating is available on new tools only—we do not recoat tools sent in for resharpening
- Germany resharpening is available for aerospace customers only and is not a standard service
