Choose your finish

The right tolerance.
On the right surfaces.

Specify the finish required for each face. Thickness, length and width tolerances differ by process.

Plate finishLength / widthThicknessParallelism
Six-side precision milling±0.10 mm±0.10 mm0.08 mm / 100 mm
Two-side ground + four-side milled±0.10 mm±0.05 mm0.04 mm / 100 mm between ground faces
E1 six-side precision grinding±0.02 mm±0.02 mm0.02 mm / 100 mm

E1 applies only to eligible grades and material conditions, with length and width each up to 600 mm and thickness 10–200 mm. Maximum processing size does not carry the E1 specification. Check full E1 eligibility →
