Our Reasons Are Simple

Over the past 30 years, Tufts Grinding has developed practices to assure our customers are guaranteed some of the industry’s best Turned, Ground, and Polished bars.

From customer service to the finished product, our results speak for themselves.

Straightness & Tolerance

Our Straightness and Tolerances are renowned in the industry – worldwide. If our dimensional tolerances are some of the tightest out there, our straightness is unsurpassed. We don’t test some bars, we test every bar and test it at multiple locations along its length.

On-Time Delivery

Our On-Time Delivery is not a fluke, we know that the steel industry has always struggled with this issue. Most companies are apprehensive about discussing on-time delivery, not Tufts. We are currently at a 94% on-time rate – and we won’t settle until we’re at 100%.

    Industries

    Tufts Grinding serves a variety of industries, including distribution, fluid power, oil and gas, agriculture, and construction. End products include hydraulic cylinders, pump shafts, polished rods, rotors, and products that require a bearing to move along a bar.

    Tufts Grinding remains dedicated to producing quality products that meet or exceed expectations and achieve the highest level of customer satisfaction.

    Our Lean Manufacturing Journey

    For over two decades, we have optimized processes to the needs of customers and their due dates. We understand that it is our job to adapt, not the other way around. Therefore, we do not produce in size cycles; we produce to the customer’s needs.

    They say perfection is not obtainable; we intend to challenge that assertion.

    Our People Are Our Difference

    While we embrace the latest in lasers and automation, our people are what truly sets us apart.
