GTA Precision Grinding

Production Grinding Programs for GTA Manufacturers

Cylindrical · Centerless · Surface grinding with coordinated chrome workflows for hydraulic and industrial shafts across the Greater Toronto Area. We own the process from pre-grind and plating logistics to final inspection so your line stays on schedule.

Cylindrical: 24″ Ø × 90″ between centers Surface: tables to 40″ Centerless: up to 4″ diameter Chrome workflow (partnered)

Scale production runs without losing tolerance

From blanket orders to half-million piece programs, Jameson Machining Inc. builds grinding cells that hold concentricity, finish, and documentation for Greater Toronto Area OEMs and maintenance teams.

Dedicated process control

Setup sheets, wheel life tracking, and in-process gauging keep production shafts on print, job after job.

Chrome coordination

We partner with North American Hard Chrome for plating, managing masking, rack plans, and logistics as part of one accountable workflow.

Verified delivery

Inspection reports, finish verification, and pickup/delivery options across the GTA minimize downtime for transit, steel, and automation teams.

Grinding-first workflows for hydraulic and industrial programs

We build grinding cells around cylindrical shafts, coordinate plating with NAHC, and close the loop with inspection backed by repeatable fixtures.

Cylindrical Grinding

Precision between centers up to 90″ with live tooling strategies that keep runout in control.

  • Programs for hydraulic rods and industrial rolls
  • Steady rest integration for length stability
  • Final TIR typically ≤ 0.0005″

Centerless Grinding

Through-feed and in-feed programs for production quantities without losing finish.

  • Dialed wheel and blade setup documentation
  • Capability on carbon, alloy, and stainless
  • In-line deburr and inspection support

Surface Grinding

Magnetic and fixture-based grinding for critical plates, rails, and tooling faces.

  • Matched pairs and flatness checks
  • Fine finish to drawing (Ra) requirements
  • Turnkey with coordinate inspection

One accountable plan: pre-grind → plate → post-grind

Chrome plating is coordinated through North American Hard Chrome (NAHC) as our dedicated partner. Your team receives one production plan with a single point of contact.

01 Pre-grind

Rough grind for stock removal and concentricity ahead of plating.

02 Plate (NAHC)

Chrome deposit managed with masking, racking, and logistics coordination.

03 Post-grind

Finish grind, polish, and inspection with certificates on request.
