Grind It With the Rest of the Job
Grinding usually follows machining or heat treatment. We coordinate the whole path — machine, grind, and any welding — so your part shows up ready to assemble.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you grind hardened parts?
Yes — post-heat-treat grinding is standard for tool steel and dies. Tell us the hardness in the quote notes.
What flatness can you guarantee?
We hold ±0.0005" over 12 inches on typical parts. Tighter is possible on smaller work — the AI reflects it in the price.
Do you grind both sides parallel?
Yes, when the part calls for it. Parallelism is quoted from the drawing.
What file should I upload?
STEP or DXF. PDF drawings with dimensions also work.
