Blanchard Grinding Services in Minnesota
Since 1967, Anoco Metal Services, Inc. has delivered grinding services built on accuracy, consistency, and turnaround. Located north of the Twin Cities, we support manufacturers across the Twin Cities metro and the Upper Midwest, with the ability to process projects from other regions when needed.
Our facility provides a complete range of grinding capabilities, including rotary surface grinding, precision grinding, plate grinding, and material sourcing. We work with steel, aluminum, and specialty metals, producing the flatness, parallelism, and surface finishes required in production environments.
Blanchard, Precision, and Plate Grinding Services in Minnesota
High-capacity rotary grinding for large plates and heavy parts. Blanchard grinding provides efficient stock removal and consistent flatness across steel, aluminum, and specialty alloys. It is often selected instead of milling, plasma cutting, or laser cutting when scale, cost, and speed are critical.
Precision Grinding
Close-tolerance grinding for parts requiring exact dimensions and refined surface finishes. Precision grinding is frequently performed after heat treatment or cutting operations to achieve final tolerances.

Plate Grinding
Flat grinding for plate steel projects from standard dimensions to custom sizes. Plate grinding is commonly applied after flame cutting, plasma cutting, or laser cutting, producing uniform thickness and smooth surfaces ready for fabrication.

Material Sourcing
Through established supplier accounts, we can source raw steel and specialty metals on behalf of our customers and process them in-house. While not a direct supplier, our purchasing power shortens lead times and simplifies procurement.
