Quality and Precision
Grinding Services
Plouse uses a variety of precision grinding equipment to manufacture high-precision products. The process of grinding removes material from the work piece by a powered abrasive wheel, stone, belt, paste, sheet, compound, slurry or other agent.
By precision grinding a metal part, we are able to remove burrs, deep cuts or saw marks. It also prepares the part for polishing. The most common forms of grinding are surface grinding (produces flat and/or squared surfaces) and cylindrical grinding (used to grind internal and external parts).
What We Can Do for You
Types of Grinding
Cylindrical Grinding
Plouse uses cylindrical grinders to produce high-precision products. The process of grinding removes material from the workpiece by a powered abrasive wheel, stone, belt, paste, sheet, compound, slurry or other agent. By grinding a metal part, we are able to remove burrs, deep cuts or saw marks. It also prepares the part for polishing. The most common forms of grinding are surface grinding (produces flat and/or squared surfaces) and cylindrical grinding (used to grind internal and external parts).
Surface Grinding
Surface grinding creates an accurate flat surface. The precision of our surface grinding equipment typically ranges from .001 to .0001 inch. The process of surface grinding removes material by moving a a workpiece back and forth under a powered abrasive wheel, stone, belt, paste, sheet, compound, slurry or other agent. Surface grinding also prepares the part for polishing. This common form of grinding produces flat and/or squared surfaces.
Form Grinding
Plouse uses form grinding to produce high-precision products. The process of grinding removes material from the workpiece by a powered abrasive wheel, stone, belt, paste, sheet, compound, slurry or other agent. By precision grinding a metal part, we are able to remove burrs, deep cuts or saw marks. It also prepares the part for polishing. The most common forms of grinding are surface grinding (produces flat and/or squared surfaces) and cylindrical grinding (used to grind internal and external parts).
