Customers may prefer to manufacture their own preforms/blanks for custom products and in many cases this can reduce cost and lead times. The instructions below detail the necessary allowances for each grit size. Please refer to these whenever manufacturing blanks.

Area to be plated (female radius)
Female radius must be larger than the finished size required.
Example – If a .500 female radius is required with 60/80 grit, then the blank should be manufactured .011 larger = .511

Area to be plated (male radius)
A male radius must be smaller than the finished size required.
Example – If a .500 male radius is required with 60/80 grit, then the blank should be manufactured .011 smaller = .489
