Shape Adaptive Grinding (SAG) is an innovative technique that brings polishing technology into the 21st century. Our SAG tools can grind complex surfaces repeatedly with high precision. Whether you need to remove machining marks or give your parts a mirror finish, we have the right tool for the job.
SAG achieves surface finishes that compete with or surpass traditional grinding processes, eliminating the need for many different finishing operations. By using the same tool geometry with a different cloth, you can achieve the desired finish every time.
