Lapping/Grinding services
(OP)
I'm currently looking for a recomandation for a lapping/grinding service in the new england area. I've tried many places and asked for a flat & parrellel dimesnions of +/- .001 on some .200 A2 hardened steel plate.
Many times have I received the plates and they were warped or bowed. does anyone know of a well repitable shop that has great history on grinding/lapping?

I recommend you review your parts prior to heat treat and after heat treat before grind and have an understanding on what is happening to the material for flatness. Another question is does the part need to be flat or is the thickness of the part the real consideration? If this part is being used as a spacer flatness may not be required.
