Abstract
Tooling assemblies having a metal portion with a proximal and distal end and a ceramic portion having a proximal and distal end. The proximal end of the ceramic portion being engaged with the distal end of the metal portion by an interference fit. The tooling assemblies may be reconditioned by replacing a worn ceramic portion with a new ceramic portion.

A tooling assembly, comprising:
- an elongated base portion having a distal end and a proximal end, the proximal end having an axial opening therein;
- and
- an elongated ceramic rod portion having a distal end and a proximal end, the proximal end being inserted into the axial opening in the proximal end of the elongated base portion;
- wherein the proximal end of the elongated ceramic rod is secured to the proximal end of the elongated base portion by an interference fit.

A method of refurbishing a tooling assembly, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing tooling assembly having:
- an elongated base portion having a distal end and a proximal end, the proximal end having an axial opening therein;
- a first elongated ceramic rod portion having a worn distal end and a proximal end, the proximal end being inserted into the axial opening in the proximal end of the elongated base portion;
- b) removing the first elongated ceramic rod portion from the elongated base portion;
- c) providing a second elongated ceramic rod portion having a distal end and a proximal end;
- and
- d) inserting the proximal end of the second elongated ceramic rod portion into the axial opening of the elongated base portion.
