Feature-Added Machine-Ready Blanks

Feature-Added Machine-Ready Blanks ™ are milled or turned to the same tight tolerances as Custom Blanks, but include one or more customer specified features.

Typical added features include:

• Large amount of material removal: hogging pockets, steps and windows
• Chamfers and Beveled Edges
• Holes and Threaded Holes
• Dovetails
• Contours and 3D Milling
• Radii and Other Turned Surfaces

By allowing TCI to add these features to your Machine-Ready Blanks, it will not only save time, but also reduce wear and tear on your equipment. When Feature-added Machine-Ready Blanks arrive in your shop, less in-house machine time is required. Specify a single added feature or multiple features – all the way to a finished part if required.
