Anoco Metal Services Inc. Provides Precision Blanchard Grinding for Minnesota Manufacturers

Precision Blanchard Grinding in Minnesota

Since 1967, Anoco Metal Services, Inc. has provided precision Blanchard grinding in Minnesota, delivering flatness, parallelism, and consistent finishes across steel, aluminum, and specialty metals. From our facility north of the Twin Cities, we offer rotary surface, precision, and plate grinding services that keep projects on spec and on schedule.

Why Blanchard Grinding Matters

Blanchard grinding — also known as rotary surface grinding — is one of the most efficient methods for preparing large metal parts. The process removes stock quickly and produces uniform flatness across the entire surface. For companies in Minnesota and throughout the Upper Midwest, this means:

• Reliable tolerances on plate steel and heavy components

• Smooth surfaces ready for machining, fabrication, or assembly

• Faster turnaround compared to large-scale milling

• Cost savings when flatness is the primary requirement

• Plate Grinding – Flat grinding for plate steel, ensuring thickness and surface quality are consistent. Frequently used after flame cutting, plasma cutting, or laser cutting.

• Material Sourcing – Established supplier accounts allow us to source steel and specialty metals on behalf of customers, reducing lead times and simplifying procurement.
