I would like to start using 3/32" CPM 154 for some slipjoints and I need it precision ground. I am not at a place to buy a surface grinder at this time. I have looked at several suppliers and haven't been able to find anything. Can anyone steer me in the right direction?
thanks.
 
You may need to buy the steel and bring it to a local machine shop to have it ground.
 
I'm almost positive those bars are NOT precision ground. They're likely surface ground on a Timesaver, which flattens them (kind of) but is more responsible for removing the mill scale and rolling scars. If you want precision ground, I'm guessing you'll have to pay a third party to have it done. Niagara Specialty Metals offers precision grinding, but I don't think they do small batches, probably need to do a sheet. Might want to call, though.
 
I believe Jantz Supply offers precision ground CPM 154 but the shortest length is 18 inches.
