Precision Surface Grinding Services

Nation Grinding, Inc. has been offering precision coating and grinding services since 1954. We can accommodate large production runs and work with a range of materials to suit the needs of various industries, including aerospace, defense, medical, and more. As part of our capabilities, we offer precision surface grinding services for metal parts and products.

What is Precision Surface Grinding?

Precision surface grinding has many uses within manufacturing, including finishing, sharpening, and extremely precise metal removal at high-speed rates. In the past, grinding processes used simple single-edged tools such as chisels; however, modern surface grinding machines offer faster speeds and enhanced precision.

There are many different types of precision surface grinders, including benches, belts, and cylindrical grinders; however, each type consists of a power-driven grinding wheel. This abrasive tool interacts with the surface of the workpiece to remove raw material and produce a smooth finish.

Advantages of Precision Surface Grinding

Precision surface grinding provides significant advantages to the production of various parts. These advantages include:

• Accuracy. Precision surface grinding offers a high degree of accuracy to produce products with precise dimensions. At Nation Grinding, we can achieve tight tolerances of 0.0002″.
• Versatility. Precision surface grinding is compatible with a wide range of metallic and non-metallic materials, making this a useful process for various applications. At Nation Grinding we work with materials such as stainless steel, copper, and cast iron, as well as ceramics, rubbers, and plastics.
• Large volume capabilities. Nation Grinding has the necessary knowledge and equipment to accommodate orders ranging from prototype to large-scale production volumes.
• Consistency. Precision surface grinders can repeat identical processes over and over again to create a consistent finish and identical dimensions that match the original design specifications.
• Software integration. Modern precision surface grinding equipment is partially or fully automated, which results in fewer errors and inconsistencies between each part.

Applications of Precision Surface Grinding

Precision surface grinding can be used to perform a wide range of functions. Along with making surfaces smooth, precision grinding can correct edges and faces so they align. For example, precision grinding equipment can ensure cubic forms have parallel edges and properly squared angles. Grinders do this by making each side parallel and square to itself or other reference surfaces.

In the manufacturing industry, precision surface grinding is commonly used to finish dies, fixtures, and molds. Surface grinding tools can also be used on rods, though rounding circular rods is a process typically left for OD grinding tools.
