Precision grinding shops: tight-tolerance RFQs routed to you
Grinding is usually the finishing step a milling-only shop subs out, so the RFQ for the complete part lands on us. If your shop runs OD, ID, surface, or centerless grinders, we have the work.
RFQs on the board
Grinding work on our board
OD and ID cylindrical grinding
- Shafts, pins, bushings, and bearings ground to ±0.0001 in on OD
- ID grinding on hardened bores and ring IDs
- 4140, 52100, 4340, hardened tool steels (D2, A2), and stainless 17-4
Surface grinding
- Flat ground stock, parallel plates, die shoes, and fixture bases
- Hardened tool-steel inserts and gage blocks
- Finishes 8–32 Ra
Centerless grinding
- High-volume shaft and pin production in 303, 304, 316, and 4140
- Through-feed and in-feed centerless for repeated profiles
- Qty 500–50,000 pcs with first-article inspection
Jig grinding, double-disk, and specialty
- Jig grinding on hardened mold inserts and gage work
- Double-disk grinding on parallel-plate production parts
- Honing, lapping, and super-finishing partners welcome
What qualifies you
What a qualified grinding shop looks like
- OD / ID cylindrical grinders
- Studer, Okamoto, Myford, or equivalent with CNC programmable positioning for repeatable features.
- Surface grinders
- Reciprocating with 10" x 20" or larger table; rotary surface grinders a plus.
- Centerless grinders
- Through-feed and in-feed capacity for production shaft work.
- Inspection discipline
- Air gages, CMM, surface-finish profilometer, and reliable round-and-cylinder measurement.
- Heat-treat relationships
- In-house or trusted vendor so hardened-then-ground parts come back on schedule.
- Certifications
- ISO 9001 is enough for most; AS9100 opens aerospace; ISO 13485 opens medical implant/instrument grinding.
What you get
What a grinding partner gets
Free to join; no fees
No subscription, no per-RFQ fee, no commission.
Finish-side RFQs you would not see
Many of our RFQs are for complete parts (milled + ground); without a grinding partner we subcontract piecemeal. With you, we route the finish work directly.
Realistic tolerance expectations
We only route grinding RFQs where the drawing actually calls for it — not misread ±0.0001 CAD errors.
Keep your own customers
Our RFQs are new to your shop; we do not approach your existing accounts.
Pair with partner shops
If a job needs milling at one shop and grinding at yours, we coordinate the handoff rather than making either shop quote the whole thing.

The buyer pages that attract this work
These are the capability, material, and industry landing pages buyers find on Google and in AI search. RFQs from them land in our inbox and route to the matching shops.
Add your grinding capacity and we route the next matching RFQ to you
List OD, ID, surface, or centerless on your profile with your sizes and tolerances, and we send the next matching grinding RFQ your way.
