Surface & Blanchard Grinding Services

Surface & Blanchard Grinding Services We specialize in surface grinding components such as die sets, bolster plates, lathe beds, fixture plates, and shear blades. Industrial Grinding Inc. repairs, retrofits, and services these machine parts through Blanchard grinding, surface grinding, fine grinding, regrinding, or sharpening. Aluminum, gold, nickel, magnetic steel, and non-metallic materials such as graphite are some of the substrates that we process.

Our surface grinding processes will restore your components back to original OEM dimensions. Depending on the type of material, precision-ground parts can be produced with a surface finish of up to 16 micro finish. At our fully equipped grinding plant, we grind angles, radii, and flats on custom components as well as refurbish lathe beds to original factory specifications.

Industrial Grinding Inc.'s Okamota surface grinder can process parts up to 160" in length, 60" in width, and 29.5" in height. All of our machines are used for special repair and maintenance projects.
