Our highly skilled toolmakers who make up Area Tool's surface grinding department use the well maintained equipment and abundant supply of precision measuring tools and fixtures to perform their very important operation toward the completion of a product. We realize that the critical dimensions and finishes must be attained to ensure the proper function of the finished part. A ±.0002 tolerance is a normal standard. And ±.000020 tolerance is commonly held for mold laminates.

If a form is required radius, angles or other intricate form can be dressed. Our ability to grind hardened tool steels with CBN grinding wheels allows us to offer competitive pricing. Carbide tooling is ground with diamond wheels. All of our surface grinders are equipped with .0001 digital readouts.
