CNC Machine Shop with Precision Blanchard & Large Surface Grinding

Over 50 Years of Blanchard & Surface Grinding Experience

Blanchard grinders are known worldwide as leaders in rotary grinding. In fact, Blanchard grinders are so well known for their quality and precision that Blanchard grinding and rotary grinding have become synonymous. Rotary grinding utilizes high horsepower to remove large amounts of surface stock, leaving a cross-hatched surface finish and providing excellent flatness and parallelism. We have experience working with mild steel, stainless alloys, mold steels, forgings, and castings. Venango Machine Company utilizes large capacity Blanchard grinders with an 84” swing and a 72” magnetic chuck that holds the workpiece in place. Our rotary grinding operating window is as follows:
