Planing

Planed for precision and performance

Our plastic planing service ensures every sheet arrives perfectly flat, smooth, and ready for precision machining. By removing surface irregularities and achieving uniform thickness, we help guarantee consistency across large-scale production runs and tightly toleranced components.

At Oadby Plastics, planing is part of our integrated machining workflow, meaning your materials can move straight from preparation to milling or routing without delay. This approach saves time, reduces rework, and improves overall part accuracy.

Key Benefits

Engineering material ready to be planed at Oadby Plastics

Uniform thickness and improved finish

Planing provides the perfect foundation for precision machining. Flat, stress-free sheets help prevent warping, ensure better vacuum hold-down, and result in more consistent finished parts. The outcome is improved dimensional stability and reduced machining time.

Technical Capabilities

Precision-controlled planing for engineered plastics

Our planing machinery handles a wide range of engineering plastics, including acetal, HDPE, and PEEK, in both thick and thin gauges. Advanced depth control allows us to achieve exceptional flatness and repeatable thickness across large-format sheets, ensuring every material is ready for the next stage of production.
