In 1986, James Richmond sacrificed his beloved 1966 Pontiac LeMans in order to put a down payment on a 108” Hanchett grinder. Since then, what originally began as a one-man operation in Richmond’s garage has blossomed into a highly successful enterprise. Over the years, Midwest Knife Grinding, Inc. has expanded their offerings to include metal shear blades, underwater pelletizer knives, pelletizer rotor heads, granulator knives, pulverizer discs and segments, and various other recycling knives. In addition to working with a number of companies in the state of Ohio, Midwest Knife Grinding, Inc. has also earned a reputation among U.S. businesses throughout the greater Atlanta, Georgia area as well as Pennsylvania, Virginia, Texas, California, and beyond. Needless to say, their experience working with machine knives makes Midwest Knife Grinding, Inc. uniquely qualified to provide your own business with the parts you need to keep your equipment running smoothly.
