Bar Stock Materials

M&M Quality Grinding maintains an extensive, material-diverse inventory of precision ground bar stock and optimized oversizes. In addition to our onsite inventory, we have a large in-house centerless grinding operation that provides rapid turnaround on specialty sizes and materials.

If we don’t have what you need in-stock, we’ll move to quickly find it from within our network of vendors and mills, then grind your bar stock to your precise specfications.
