FAQs
Is cylindrical grinding performed in-house?
Some cylindrical grinding is done at our Ontario facility. For higher capacity, specialized geometries, or urgent needs, we work with trusted Canadian partners — all under our quality system.
What diameter and length ranges can you handle?
We grind OD from 5 mm up to 200 mm diameter and lengths to 800 mm, with ID grinding up to 500 mm deep.
What tolerances and finishes are achievable?
Typical tolerances are ±0.005 mm, with surface finishes as fine as Ra 0.2 µm via spark-out processes.
Can you grind hardened steels and exotic alloys?
Yes—using specialized wheels we accurately grind hardened tool steels, Inconel, stainless, and more.
Do you support both batch and continuous production?
Absolutely—our setups handle single prototypes through high-volume runs with consistent quality.
