    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.

 
Customer Feedback

"We received the mold base late Friday. The tool makers started the assembly process over the weekend. Let the guys know this is the best workmanship we’ve ever seen on a base.
