Standard Machine-Ready Blanks are pre-configured material in hundreds of dimension and alloy combinations. Each precision blank arrives square, flat, and parallel making them machine-ready, eliminating the need for squaring up the material prior to finish machining.
There are Four Types of Standard Machine-Ready Blanks to Choose from:
2-Side Precision Blanks — Each blank is precision ground or milled 2-sides for thickness and flatness to +/-.002˝. Width and length for aluminum are saw cut to +.063-0˝. Width and length for stainless steel are saw cut or waterjet cut to +.125-0˝.
6-Side Precision Blanks — Each blank is precision ground or milled 2-sides for thickness and flatness, and milled 4-sides for width and length. All dimensions +/-.002˝.
Round Precision Blanks — Each blank is precision ground to +/-.002˝ on thickness; diameter based on stock.
Aluminum Strip Blanks — Thickness based on stock; saw cut to +.063-0˝ on width and length.
