Keep Critical Grinding Work Moving

We recognize that grinding is only one part of your operation, but not having the right wheel can affect everything that follows. Long lead times can idle equipment, interrupt production and put customer delivery dates at risk.

With Precision Express, we provide a more responsive way to obtain custom-profiled vitrified grinding wheels. Our wheel inventory, profiling capabilities and grinding expertise help you get the wheel you need sooner.

Shorten Wheel Lead Times

We reduce the wait for custom-profiled gear grinding wheels from months to an expected two weeks.

Protect Machine Uptime

We help you get the right wheel sooner so critical grinding work can keep moving.

Respond to Urgent Demand

We help you address emergency repairs, new gear profiles and unexpected production needs.

Reduce Supply Risk

We reduce your dependence on long manufacturing cycles and inventories of finished custom wheels.

Built for Urgent and Variable Grinding Needs

We designed Precision Express for job shops, repair operations and manufacturers that cannot predict every wheel requirement months in advance.

When a new profile, emergency repair or small production run enters your schedule, we give you a faster path to the custom-profiled vitrified wheel you need. We can also help you respond to unexpected demand without allowing wheel availability to dictate your production schedule.

Custom Profiling for Your Gear Grinding Application

From our on-hand vitrified wheel inventory, we profile single-profile and continuous generating—or worm—gear grinding wheels in our in-house cell.

We hold all dimensions to ±0.010 in. (0.25 mm), helping reduce initial dressing and support faster machine startup. We also speed-test each profiled wheel for safe operation at speeds up to 63 m/s.

How Precision Express Works

We bring vitrified wheel inventory, in-house profiling and grinding expertise together in one responsive process.

  1. Confirm your requirements:
    You share your machine, application, wheel specifications, required profile and delivery needs. We work with you to confirm the requirements before entering the order.

  2. Profile and test the wheel:
    We select the appropriate wheel from our available stock, profile it to your confirmed requirements and speed-test it before delivery.

  3. Deliver your custom wheel:
    We deliver the finished, custom-profiled wheel with an expected turnaround of two weeks, helping you keep critical work on schedule.

When Every Week Matters

“The key differentiator is lead time. We can’t be waiting for a grinding wheel and then miss our customer’s date.”

Common Precision Express Questions

How quickly can we deliver a custom-profiled vitrified grinding wheel?

Precision Express provides an expected two-week turnaround after we confirm your wheel requirements and specifications. Our grinding experts will confirm timing based on your specific order.

What types of vitrified grinding wheels can we profile?

Using our current in-house cell, we profile single-profile and continuous generating—or worm—gear grinding wheels.

What profiling tolerances can we hold?

For single-profile and continuous generating wheels, we hold all dimensions to a tolerance of ±0.010 in. (0.25 mm).

How do we confirm the wheel’s safe operating speed?

We speed-test profiled wheels to confirm safe operation at speeds up to 63 m/s.

How does our profiling support faster machine startup?

Our tight profiling tolerances help reduce the amount of initial dressing required on your machine. This helps you move into production faster after the wheel is installed.

How does Precision Express shorten lead times?

We combine on-hand vitrified wheel stock with in-house profiling. This allows us to prepare wheels for specific applications without waiting for a completely new wheel to move through a traditional manufacturing cycle.

What information do we need to begin?

We work with you to confirm details such as your grinding machine, wheel dimensions and specifications, required profile, application requirements and desired delivery timing.
