Blanchard Grinding, technically referred to as Rotary Surface Grinding, is a quick and efficient way to remove stock from a workpiece one side at a time using abrasive stones. Magnetic materials are held in place by an electromagnetic chuck/table, while non-magnetic materials are held using a fixture.
Dimensional tolerances of approximately 0.001’’ parallelism and flatness per foot across a surface are typically achieved with Blanchard Grinding. Surface finish will range from 63 microinch rms to as high as 32 microinch rms, with most material leaving the trademark Blanchard cross hatch pattern. Using “geared heads’’ and significantly greater horsepower than compared grinding methods, Blanchard Grinding provides an unmatched method to remove large amounts of stock with unique precision.
