    At Craftsman Tool & Mold, precision grinding is a core capability within our comprehensive suite of in-house manufacturing services. Our facility is equipped with advanced horizontal reciprocating surface grinders as well as a high-capacity Blanchard grinder, enabling us to handle complex grinding requirements with exacting standards.

    We employ a meticulous multi-step process to ensure dimensional stability and surface integrity. All critical plates are preroughed and stress-relieved prior to finish grinding—significantly reducing the risk of warpage and ensuring optimal flatness. Our grinding operations routinely achieve flatness, parallelism, squareness, and uniformity tolerances within ±0.0002".

    With a grinding capacity that accommodates plates up to 74 inches by 140 inches, Craftsman delivers high-precision results for both small components and large-format assemblies. Our commitment to consistency and accuracy makes us the trusted choice for manufacturers across demanding industries.
