Linishing, Sanding & Filling

Using a mixture of belt sanders, air tools and hand power – we can remove flash and unwanted machining features from castings, ensuring components are free from imperfections. Any casting defects such as cold flow and pin holes can be filled and prepped smooth, to achieve the component’s intended finish.
