Grinding Service

Surface grinding (or Lumsden grinding) allows standard thickness sheet and plate to be ground to your custom thickness. Our three Lumsden grinders maintain flatness over considerable length, ensuring that dimensions of your profiles remain accurate.

Lumsden Grinding To Your Specific Thickness

Our machines can work to close tolerances, without leaving witness lines; and with a higher rate of material removal in comparison to conventional surface grinding. Please get in touch to discuss your project requirements: we can work with one-off samples right through to major batch runs.

Delivering Quality Products With Precision For Decades

"P.P. Group offered a completely different approach to our standard manufacturing methods. Adopting the latest advances in CAD software and profiling technology helped us to reduce costs and dramatically increase profitability. I would highly recommend contacting one of their Sales team to discuss what benefits P.P. Group’s advanced CAD and cutting technologies can bring to your business."

“P.P. Group managed to profile and deliver 75 tonnes of parts within five working days, which enabled us to meet and exceed our project’s deadlines. In addition, we saved significant time on drilling due to 40 mm cut holes, provided by P.P. Group during this task.

This truly flexible and swift approach, enabled us to deliver all the tunnel cutting machines for the construction of railway lines on time.”

“P.P. Group's advanced facilities and machinery enabled us to successfully manufacture a very complex baggage shield that weighed 76 tonnes for Heathrow Airport Terminal 5.”

“P.P. Group was able to supply us with materials, to manufacture six stainless steel filters, for the waste water industry. Each of these filters was 14 m x 4 m x 6.5 m high, consisting of thousands of profiles/parts, which were laser and water jet cut, as well as rolled and pressed; in as little as just four months. Due to the short lead time of such a large order, the project won a recognised global award.”
