Yes. Fry Steel offers in-house centerless grinding to deliver tight tolerances, consistent diameters, and smooth surface finishes. This service allows us to provide precision-ground bar products that are ready for machining or end-use applications, helping customers reduce secondary operations and improve efficiency.
Centerless grinding costs vary based on several factors, including material type, bar diameter, tolerances, volume, and job complexity. Because each project is unique, pricing is customized to ensure you get the most accurate and cost-effective solution. For a detailed quote, we recommend contacting a Fry Steel sales representative.
Centerless grinding is a precision process where material is supported between a grinding wheel and a regulating wheel, rather than being held by a center or chuck. As the bar passes through the machine, material is removed evenly around the diameter to achieve precise sizing and a consistent surface finish. Fry Steel’s advanced grinding equipment and experienced operators ensure accuracy, repeatability, and high-quality results across a wide range of metal grades and sizes.
Turnaround time depends on the material type, bar size, tolerance requirements, and overall job volume. While timelines can vary, Fry Steel works to maintain efficient lead times without sacrificing quality. The chart above provides a general guideline, and your sales representative can confirm timing based on your specific project needs.
