What Should You Consider Before Bead Blasting Precision Parts?
Not every precision part should be bead blasted — and determining suitability early in design prevents costly tolerance issues and production delays. With decades of CNC experience across aerospace, medical, and audio applications, we’ve learned that the wrong finishing choice can turn perfectly machined components into expensive scrap metal. Skip bead blasting for parts with […]
Are You Overpaying for an Ultra-Smooth CNC Finish?
Specifying surface finishes for CNC machined parts shouldn’t feel like guesswork — but it often does. With decades of experience machining precision components for aerospace, audio, and medical applications, we’ve seen countless projects where engineers over-specify finish requirements, driving up costs without improving function. Yes, you’re likely overpaying if you’re specifying Ra ≤ 0.8 μm […]
