Stock Plates

Industrial Grinding Inc. uses Blanchard type abrasive grinding machines to surface grind stock plates up to 36" in thickness. Our precision grinding equipment can remove large amounts of stock, while maintaining flatness and parallelism tolerances within 0.001". The tight tolerance surface grinding process produces stock plates with a typical finish of 32 Ra. Our blanchard grinders typically produce a finish of 64 Ra, depending on material. Typical materials that we work with include stainless steel, 1020 heat treated steel, cast iron, and copper.
