Jig grinding is a high-precision method of machining that allows manufacturers to create holes, slots, or more complicated features and shapes in metal parts matching very precise tolerances. This process employs a guiding jig to guarantee the precise dimensions, placement, and smoothness of surface finish. It is important where precision and repeatability are of utmost importance.

Key Features:

• High Precision: Jig grinding is capable of achieving very tight tolerances. Most of the time this means tolerances of within a few microns, guaranteeing the part will fit perfectly each time it is required to fit into an assembly.
• Smooth Surface Finish: The jig grinding process will leave a fine surface finish with minimum wear, maximum performance, and increased functionality of any precision moving parts.
• Versatility: Jig grinding can be used to grind most metals, even hardened steel and alloys. Also, jig grinding can produce complex geometric shapes and profiles to be machined.

In industries such as aerospace, automotive, die and mold making, and tooling, where precision is a requirement, jig grinding has become a fundamental form of machining. An example includes mold making, where the end product requires inserts and cavities to be in perfect alignment with one another to build a high-quality product without defects. In aerospace, for example, we use jig grinding on many engine component parts to ensure exact dimensional sensitivities, along with safety and regulatory standards.
