At the end of most manufacturing cycles, there comes a point where absolute precision is required in order to meet the engineer’s goal. This is when CNC grinding services and other grinding processes become necessary. At Minnesota Grinding, Inc., we have the grinding capabilities and the expertise we need to...
One of the many services we offer at Minnesota Grinding is centerless grinding. This process is unique in that the workpiece being shaped is not mechanically constrained. Instead, it is placed between two wheels, which rotate in the same direction but at different speeds (for a more in depth explanation...
At Minnesota Grinding, Inc., we know that CNC thread grinding is the ideal solution for producing threaded parts. It provides several advantages over alternative threading methods, including consistency, accuracy, and production flexibility. Consistency One major benefit of CNC thread grinding is that it offers superior consistency. No matter the size...
CNC precision grinding has a broad range of applications and benefits. It can be used for one-off molds, fixtures, or R&D work, or it can be used for batches of parts in the thousands, in a production type setting. It plays an essential role in a variety of industries, including...
Cylindrical CNC grinding services use a diverse array of techniques to achieve specific geometries and dimensional tolerances for rotational symmetrical workpieces. Centerless grinding, OD grinding, and ID grinding are just a few examples of precision grinding techniques used by dedicated CNC grinding companies. For numerous businesses in need of cylindrical...
The term “precision grinding” refers to several techniques—all of which employ the same basic methods: Abrasive tools are used to produce a clean surface, modify a form and/or reduce thickness. There are important differences, however, which we’ll address here. Precision Grinding Precision grinding, as its name suggests, produces perfectly...

Precision lapping services are highly sought after in the metal fabrication world. Lapping is commonly chosen when fabricating or finishing a metal part with tight flatness requirements. This process helps companies achieve exceptionally smooth finishes, with minimal material removed from the surface. At Minnesota Grinding, we help businesses across the...
For companies to produce machined parts according to strict quality and precision standards, there are a number of precision grinding services available. Industries like aerospace, automotive, electronics, and more all rely on grinding services to best meet their exact application fit and function, along with the tight measurement tolerances required...
Centerless grinding is a widely adopted grinding process that utilizes a grinding wheel, regulating wheel, and work rest blade to perform high-precision bar grinding and other, piece part outer dimensional (OD) grinding services. Categorized into two basic types, this service is performed using a through-feed, or in-feed method. To choose...
