Specializing in Blanchard, Centerless, Surface, and Cylindrical Grinding

Centerless Grinding

We have four machines with diameters ranging from 0.030 inches to 8 inches. Lengths of over 300 inches can be accommodated on our largest #3 Cincinnati. Long considered as the most productive method for heavy stock removal, centerless grinding provides close tolerances and surface finishes. The varieties of part groups are extensive and include the following:
  • Bar Stock
  • Shafting and light rolls
  • Pins
  • Sleeves
  • Brushings
  • Small diameters
  • Pipe and tubing
Consider centerless grinding for pre-sizing your barstock prior to chucker operations or screw machine parts production. Many companies use us to hold size on cold finished rounds to fit pillow block bearings.
We can grind the entire length of an outside diameter or "plunge grind" a step down to a smaller diameter in one-third the time required by cylindical grinding methods on the following materials:
  • Carbon steel and stainless steel
  • Aluminum and its alloys
  • Copper and its alloys
  • Brass and its alloys
  • Tungsten
  • Plastics, though not all are grindable
  • Glass and quartz
  • Cast iron
  • Titanium
Experienced • Equipped • Versatile
