Jig Grinding 101

Flag Precision d/b/a Volo Aero MRO  is a company with over 50 years experience in precision machining and grinding. Our core expertise is with jig grinding.

Jig Grinding  is a process for grinding high precision holes in location. We deal with tooling and aerospace markets  where exact locations are required. The Jig grinding process is performed at the final stages of manufacture  when the holes are already machined and there is only a small amount of material remaining to be removed.

In the picture above we have a large fixture plate weighing over 400lbs where we performed a finish grind of 8 holes.

In this blog I will hope to explain some of the benefits and challenges of Jig Grinding from an outsiders- non engineering point of view.
