Custom-Cut Option on Machine-Ready Blanks

OnlineMetals.com has introduced Custom-Cut Precision Machine-Ready Blanks from TCI Precision Metals. Custom-Cut blanks let customers order materials that are as close as .002" to their desired dimensions.

"Precision Machine-Ready Blanks available through OnlineMetals.com are pre-configured in more than 200 dimension/alloy combinations," said Ben Belzer, President and CEO of TCI Precision Metals. "Each blank ships flat, square, parallel and +/-.002" of stated dimensions. Even with so many pre-machined blanks to choose from, the customer's dimensional requirements often fall between standard available sizes. Now they can order the custom-cut option and get exactly what they need. This is important, especially when customers want to go directly from receiving to machining without any further prep."

Ready-to-ship Blanks help shops shorten set-up time, reduce scrap and increase overall throughput by up to 25% by eliminating material prep. Blanks arrive machine-ready for production and are suited for short-run and production machining, tooling and prototype applications.

Precision blanks eliminate the need for in-house sawing, grinding, flattening and squaring operations, as well as outside processing. Blanks are consistent, part-to-part, which reduces set-up time. In the case of flat blanks, the production process alleviates residual stress in the material, which results in reduced part movement during finish machining. Each blank is deburred, cleaned and individually packaged to avoid damage during shipping.

Precision ground Machine-Ready Blanks from OnlineMetals.com ship in one to three days. Standard and custom-cut sizes are precision ground on either two sides or six sides, or precision saw cut, depending on the material:
