When you need precision, you can count on our experience. Alternative Surface Grinding (ASG) has over 50 years of expertise in flat grinding and finishing. We specialize exclusively in precision flat grinding and lapping, allowing manufacturers to reduce scrap, improve consistency, and meet tight tolerance requirements without investing in additional in-house equipment.
Customers choose us for our high-quality surface grinding, fair pricing, and quick turnaround. We invest in customer service and skilled staff to deliver reliable results, no matter how complex the job.
Who We Are and What We Do
We work with a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, thermoplastics, rubber, and plated parts. As an experienced precision grinding company, we specialize in exotic and hard-to-work materials such as stainless steel, Hastelloy, Inconel, and titanium, and can process almost any part or component, regardless of complexity.
Our success is built on an ongoing investment in updated tooling, and continuous employee training. This commitment helps us meet evolving industry demands and maintain the highest standards of accuracy and repeatability.
Serving Diverse Industries
ASG serves many industries, including aerospace, transportation, machinery, agriculture, automotive, and new technologies. While automotive and aerospace are central to our business, we also support specialized, fast-growing applications such as the medical equipment sector.
ASG also works with powdered and sintered metal components, which often require secondary grinding to achieve precise dimensions and surface finishes. These materials present unique challenges due to their structure and near-net-shape designs, and ASG applies proven grinding techniques to deliver consistent results across a wide range of powdered metal applications.
A Wide Range of Precision Grinding Capabilities
Different applications require different grinding solutions. ASG offers a full range of precision grinding services to meet exact specifications:
- Double Disc Grinding (Double Face Grinding): Achieves precise flatness, thickness, and parallelism. This method is ideal for medium to high-volume production and offers consistent, cost-effective results.
- Hyprolap Grinding: Offers excellent flatness, size control, and surface finish. It works best for low-volume jobs that require tight tolerances measured in light bands.
- Light Band Microfinishing: This is one of the toughest micro-finishing measurement standards, used in aerospace, high-pressure seals, and complex mechanical assemblies.
- Tumbling & Deburring: This process gives parts of all shapes and sizes a smooth, even finish and clean edges.
Why Choose a Precision Grinding Company Like ASG?
Choosing a general grinding shop can be risky, especially for parts that need tight tolerances. As a specialized precision grinding company, ASG provides strong process control, high repeatability, fewer defects, and longer-lasting parts. We work to keep results consistent for both small and large parts, and we can handle complex shapes and tough requirements.
We take on difficult jobs other companies won’t. Want to see how ASG can help with your next project? Get in touch with us today.
