Precision Surface Grinding Services
Manual and CNC surface grinding to tight tolerances.
Surface and Form Grinding for Mold Components and Precision Parts
Detail Mold & Manufacturing’s surface grinding services run on five Mitsui MSG200MH surface grinders and multiple Okamoto platforms, including the CNC-equipped Okamoto CNC ACC 818NC. The range spans full manual to CNC, covering operator-guided finishing work through precision-controlled grinding on tighter-tolerance components.
Surface grinding capacity reaches 20×40 inches. Form grinding is available to 8×18. Primary applications are mold component finishing and high-precision production parts.
Grinding That Supports the Full Mold Build
Precision grinding at Detail Mold & Manufacturing is primarily a mold manufacturing capability, handling the final finishing work that brings mold components to the surface finish and dimensional accuracy the build demands. The same department extends to precision production parts where grinding is the final step to hold tolerance on critical dimensions.
Manual to CNC Across the Full Size Range
Our grinding department runs across manual and CNC platforms sized for different workpiece requirements and finishing applications.
- Mitsui MSG200MH Grinders (5): High-volume surface grinding capacity for mold components and production work
- Okamoto CNC ACC 818NC: Computer-controlled precision for components where manual grinding introduces variability
- Okamoto 170x96x95: Large-format surface grinding for bigger workpieces
- Okamoto 102x70x73 (x2): Mid-range surface and form grinding across standard mold component sizes
FAQs
What materials do you grind?
Detail Mold & Manufacturing’s precision grinding services primarily cover tool steels, hardened tool steels, and stainless steel. Surface grinding is the primary service, with form grinding and cylindrical grinding services for pin and round geometry work also available on the surface grinding equipment.
Is grinding available as a standalone service for parts we machined elsewhere?
Yes. Surface grinding services at Detail Mold & Manufacturing are available for components from any source, not only parts machined in-house. If you have components requiring precision surface finishing as a final step, we can quote the grinding work independently.
How does grinding fit into the mold manufacturing process?
Grinding is typically the final finishing step in a mold component build, after CNC milling and heat treating have brought the component to near-final dimensions. Our precision CNC grinding services bring components to the surface finish and dimensional accuracy required before assembly, meaning fewer handoffs and tighter control over how the finished component comes together.
