- Saw cut the corners to finish
- Blanchard Ground it top & bottom
- Interpolated the inside diameter
- Milled the sides to size and square - Added lift-holes & chamfers
- Gundrilled to print with the aid of our 3D CAM software
- Delivered the job in 8 days from receipt of P.O.

 | Customer Saved Days in Transit
| This customer used to spend two days each way in transit to obtain Gundrilling on his Plates
- Sturdell now provides plates fully machined and gundrilled - on his floor in 9 days complete.
|
 | This had to go in 5 days.
| We crossed our fingers on this one!
- Over 16,000 lbs of material
- Ground, Milled Square with Lift-holes and Chamfers - all shipped in 5 days!
|
 | Complete in 8 days
| This was a big one! 2 plates, over 13,000 lbs of steel, 600 inches of Gundrilling with Taps & Counterbores. Customer needed on his floor in 9 days. Here's what we did.
- First we cut this from a plate 84" x 145"
- Next we Blanchard Ground both of these plates to desired thickness
- Milling these & adding Lift-holes was a breeze on our 35 HP boring mill
- Our Large gundrill tackled this one just fine, even adding the Counterbores and Taps right on the machine
|
 | Tie-Bar Spacing a Problem?
| Molding machine not big enough for mold? We helped this customer around this problem he had.
- We cut the corner's off so the customer could fit this into a smaller molding machine he wanted to use for this tool.
- He could not find anyone to make clean machined edges for him to maintain the aesthetic value of the tool with his modifications.
|
 | Set of 9 in 7 days
| Over 2,146 inches of waterlines and 162 taps.....7 days from P.O.
- This one really pushed us hard but we delivered. We have since enjoyed many orders from this customer and yes, he still gives us 7 days.....
|
 | Rough Pocketing
| Another example of Sturdell's Pocket Roughing capabilities
- Our customer wanted to do "Minimal machining" when he received these blocks. We took them to within .060" on the pockets and he finished them in a tenth the time. This let his machines do what their intended for. Making him money!
