Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers for procurement teams and engineers evaluating OP1 Group.

What tolerances can OP1 Group hold?

Our Wire EDM capability achieves tolerances as tight as ±0.0001" with sharp internal corners. Precision surface and cylindrical grinding is used to meet the tightest specifications on hardened components. Tolerances for other processes depend on part geometry and material — send your drawing for a part-specific review.
