Whether your project requires one part, repeat production support, repair work, or large part Blanchard grinding, Lange Grinding can help determine the right grinding approach.
Blanchard Grinding for Stock Removal and Flatness
Blanchard grinding is widely used when a part requires stock removal and improved flatness. The process uses a vertical grinding spindle, segmented grinding wheel, and rotating magnetic chuck to grind the surface of a part. This creates the recognizable Blanchard crosshatch surface finish while removing material efficiently.
This process is often a strong fit for parts that need:
For many industrial parts, Blanchard grinding offers the right balance of production efficiency and precision.

Lange Grinding has 14 Blanchard surface grinders that range from 42 inches to 156 inches in table size. This allows our team to support a wide range of part sizes, from smaller workpieces to larger industrial components that require significant grinding capacity.
Large part Blanchard grinding is often needed for plates, weldments, castings, fabricated components, machine bases, tooling, repair parts, and heavy industrial workpieces. When parts are too large or difficult for a standard grinding shop, Lange Grinding provides the equipment and handling experience needed to support the project.

Materials We Support for Blanchard Grinding
Lange Grinding works with a variety of materials for Blanchard grinding projects. Our team can grind many ferrous metals, including low-carbon steels, alloy steels, tool steels, cast iron, and armor plate. We can also support non-ferrous materials such as 304 and 316 stainless steel.
Different materials require the right grinding approach, wheel selection, setup, and process control. Lange’s grinding experience helps customers achieve dependable results based on the part material, size, tolerance needs, and surface requirements.
Blanchard Grinding vs. Surface Grinding
Blanchard grinding and surface grinding are both used to create flat surfaces, but they are not the same process.
Blanchard grinding is often used for faster stock removal and producing a consistent flat surface across larger areas. It is a strong choice when the project requires efficiency, material removal, and a recognizable rotary crosshatch finish.
Surface grinding is typically used when a part requires tighter surface control, a finer finish, or more precise tolerance requirements. If your part requires holding .001 or tighter tolerances, surface grinding may be the better process.
Lange Grinding provides both Blanchard grinding and surface grinding, allowing our team to recommend the best option based on your part, tolerance, material, finish, and timeline.
Blanchard Grinding and Machining Under One Roof
Many Blanchard grinding projects are part of a larger machining or finishing process. A part may need CNC machining, milling, boring, planer milling, straightening, surface grinding, or quality inspection before it is complete.
Lange Grinding offers multiple capabilities under one roof, which helps customers reduce extra shipping, avoid unnecessary vendor handoffs, and keep projects moving through a more efficient process.

This one-stop approach makes Lange a strong fit for customers that need more than a single grinding operation.
When Blanchard Grinding Is the Right Choice
Blanchard grinding may be the right choice when your project requires fast material removal, flatness correction, large surface grinding, or surface preparation before another operation.
A project may be a good fit for Blanchard grinding when the part involves:
