President's Corner

Welcome to our new e-mail newsletter, news@tci! For those of you who have been recipients of our monthly mailer, which included the letter and motto card featuring Joe the Official Parade Horse, we invite you to receive the same timely and helpful information from TCI online, along with the latest humor and nonsense from Joe. Our intention is to make this newsletter as quick and easy to read as possible, while adding a little fun to our days as well. In addition to providing you, our readers, with money- and time-saving ideas from TCI, we'll also bring to you our take on what we feel are some of the more important issues facing our industry. I suspect you'll find us talking about topics that are so specific to our common interests that you'll not find these discussions anywhere else, online or off. And, in keeping with the universal need to be brief, we promise that we'll be concise...no long blogs! So, welcome aboard...and if you'd like to leave a comment, please do. All correspondence will be held in confidence. Unless, of course, you'd like to give Joe some advice for a future Motto of the Month. You just never know...yours might be the one featured in the next issue.

This Month's Featured Process - Blanchard Grinding

Blanchard Grinding, technically referred to as Rotary Surface Grinding, quickly removes stock from one side of a part...typically a part too large to be Double-Disc Ground. Parts as large as 48" × 84" or 60" × 72" can be Blanchard Ground on our largest machine. Dimensional tolerances to ± .001", parallelism to .001", and flatness to .001" are achievable on all our Blanchard Grinders. Using significantly greater horsepower than other grinding methods, Blanchard Grinding removes large amounts of stock quickly and efficiently. Read More...
