A Host of Benefits

We maintain precision ground aluminum blanks on-site, so you won't have to send materials. Our close tolerance aluminum blanks are delivered with tolerances as close as ± 0.002” dimensionally and flat square and parallel w/.002”. This results in saved spindle time and easier clamping, while also eliminating concerns over end mill taper and second-operation fixtures.

By saving you prep and setup time, our blanks enhance production processes and lower labor costs, giving you an advantage over competitors who grind, saw, flatten and square their own blanks. We are also able to manufacture machine-ready blanks in a variety of shapes, including circles. See our portfolio for examples of our manufactured blanks.
