Metal Cutting Corporation Offers Creep Feeding for Machining Small Parts

As a specialist in the production of precision metal parts for customers with rigorous specifications, Metal Cutting Corporation offers a unique capability for machining small parts: creep feeding that allows slow removal rates for surface grinding of small parts. Where small surface-grinding machines are generally designed for fast removal of small amounts of material to precise dimensions, the Metal Cutting creep-feed method is capable of removing large dimensions without creating metallurgical defects when machining small parts.

Creep-feeding surface grinders are normally made for large parts where a lot of material needs to be removed in one slow pass. The faster machines designed for smaller parts are generally used for surface finishing; in order to remove larger amounts of material, the process would have to be repeated multiple times, working in small increments to avoid cracks, steps, chatter, or other defects in the metal. However, with Metal Cutting’s creep-feeding method for machining small parts, the company can remove more material from in one pass, for greater efficiency, tight tolerances, and no damage to small parts.

Cedar Grove, N.J. based Metal Cutting Corporation has been perfecting the art and science of burr-free, tight tolerance cutting of metal parts for almost 50 years. All of its proprietary abrasive and EDM cut-off machines offer unmatched precision and high-speed capability with burr-free results specially tailored to any type of material, diameter, and cut.
