forging die rework
(OP)
We currently have some forging dies that the forging house is telling us that they need to "resink" them. Is anyone familiar with this process and could offer explanation?

Therefore, 'resinking' suggests that the cavity edges are worn out, the resulting product is out of spec, and the die block can be salvaged by removing material.
If, e.g., the die block had cracked, you would not have the resinking option, but would have to buy a new die block and sink a new cavity.
