If you don't see the specific hard material you're interested in, or you are not sure what material to use, please contact Insaco - chances are we've worked with your material or a similar application.

Tolerance of Insaco Machined Components

Insaco machines these materials to very precise tolerances for dimension, flatness, wedge and roundness/cylindricity, their customer profile is centered on applications where these tight tolerances are critical to their application.

Professional Advice and Recommendations from Insaco

Insaco engineers are available to discuss practical alternatives for your application including alternative materials and cost drivers. As Insaco do NOT make the materials, recommendations remain completely unbiased.
