April 10, 2025, Gardena, CA - TCI Precision Metals will show customers its precision Machine-Ready Blanks capabilities at EASTEC, May 13-15, 2023, at the Eastern States Exposition, Booth #5030. Machine-Ready Blanks from TCI Precision Metals help shops shorten setup time, reduce scrap, and increase overall throughput by up to 25% by eliminating material prep. Machine-Ready Blanks are guaranteed to arrive machine-ready for production. Ready-to-ship blanks in low quantities are available online and typically ship the same or the next day. Custom made-to-order blanks can be ordered to exact specifications in production quantities with fast turnaround.

Precision blanks eliminate the need for in-house sawing, grinding, flattening, squaring operations, and outside processing. Each blank arrives deburred, clean, and individually packaged to avoid damage during shipping. Ready-to-ship blanks can be ordered online for same-day or next-day shipping, and arrive square, flat, and parallel within ± .002” of specified dimensions all around. Custom made-to-order blanks are made to customer specifications and are guaranteed as close as +/- .0005” dimensionally and as close as .0002” flatness, squareness, and parallelism. “Customers can use the time they previously spent in setup and prep for more productive use of CNC machining centers, adding to their bottom-line profitability. And with our ability to consistently produce close tolerance, flat blanks, part movement is reduced, improving overall quality,” said Ben Belzer, President of TCI Precision Metals.

TCI is offering new customers a special offer to try machine-ready blanks on their next job. Customers ordering ready-to-ship blanks online will receive 15% off their first order by entering code BLANKS in the coupon field at checkout. Customers considering made-to-order blanks in production quantities can receive a free sample blank made to their exact specifications along with their estimate. Restrictions apply; ask your TCI sales representative for more information.
