Hi All,
I need to make 40 shims of a horseshoe type profile, about 7"x7" .035" thick and .070" thick.
Customer wants them +-.0005" on thickness and parallelism.
Parts will be water jet cut out.
The variance on steel gauge-size plates make them a no go.
The two places I talked to with surface grinders don't aren't interested in grinding 18 ga (.048) down to .035.
Is there anywhere in Western Canada that can double disc grind the parts after they're cut out?
Or is there any option to have the plate ground before water jet cutting?
I think they're both way too thin for blanchard grinding.
Thanks for any help.
