regrind
Sharpen once more
Regrind is the process of grinding something again, typically to restore a sharp edge or achieve a finer texture.
In manufacturing, it refers to recycled plastic or rubber that has been ground up for reuse: The factory mixes regrind with virgin material to reduce costs.
Coffee enthusiasts might regrind beans to adjust coarseness, while machinists regrind cutting tools to extend their useful life.
