Finishes Options

As Machined Standard

Surface roughness (Ra) Machining marks Deburring Cosmetic
Surface finish directly as a result of machining, without any post processing. 3.2 μm / 126 μin Parts may have visible tool marks Parts are deburred and sharp edges are chamfered Some parts can have minor visual variations and cosmetic surface flaws

As Machined Medium

Surface roughness (Ra) Machining marks Deburring Cosmetic
Surface finish is smoother than our standard finish, but no post processing is done. 1.6 μm / 63 μin Parts may have lightly visible tool marks Parts are deburred and sharp edges are chamfered Some parts can have minor visual variations and cosmetic surface flaws

As Machined Fine

Surface roughness (Ra) Machining marks Deburring Cosmetic
This is accomplished by using fine machining with high-quality cutting tools. 0.8 μm / 32 μin Parts may have lightly visible tool marks Parts are deburred and sharp edges are chamfered Some parts can have minor visual variations and cosmetic surface flaws

Anodizing Type 2

Machining marks Deburring Cosmetic Tolerances
Anodizing Type 2 is applied on As Machined parts to improve wear resistance. Machining marks will be visible per the As Machined finish prior to Black Oxide Conversion Parts are deburred and sharp edges are chamfered Some parts can have minor visual variations and cosmetic surface flaws Coating thickness to be taken into account. Thread masking as needed.

Anodizing Type 3

Machining marks Deburring Cosmetic Tolerances
