Metal Grinding Services

Since 1978, Anoco Metal Services Inc. has provided precision metal grinding services for manufacturers across Minnesota and the Upper Midwest. Our reputation is built on accuracy, consistency, and dependable turnaround times that keep production running smoothly.

Flat, Accurate, and Cost-Effective Metal Finishing

We specialize in Blanchard and surface grinding, delivering flat, parallel surfaces for steel, aluminum, and specialty alloys. Our rotary grinders achieve uniform finishes that meet tight tolerances — a faster, more affordable alternative to milling. Each project is completed with precision and efficiency, helping manufacturers reduce machining time while maintaining exceptional quality.

Ready-to-Fabricate Plates for Industrial Use

Our custom plate grinding services prepare large metal plates for fabrication, assembly, and equipment builds. We grind to precise thickness and flatness specifications, ensuring every piece arrives ready to use in production. Common applications include machine bases, molds, frames, and heavy-duty components used throughout manufacturing and construction.
