Daymond Aluminum Orders Granco Clark Precision Finish Saw

Belding, Michigan — Daymond Aluminum has placed an order for a Granco Clark Model PCS-824-21 Precision Sawing System for its plant in Chatham, Ontario. The system consists of a precision sawing system, backgauge loader system, chip collection system with rotary valve, and a precision measuring unit.

The Granco Clark sawing system will provide Daymond Aluminum with extremely close cutting tolerances and precision quality product finish, as well as a high volume of cutting capacity. This system’s capabilities will complement the fabrication services the company already supplies, such as mitering, notching, piercing, forming, bending, drilling, tapping, and mechanical assembly and welding.

Daymond Aluminum is a major supplier of extruded components and assemblies to the North American automotive, transportation, building, appliance, and consumer products industries.
