Boston Centerless, founded in 1958, is one of the leading manufacturers of precision ground bar materials and grinding services, specializing in extremely close tolerances. At the time of its establishment, the company offered thru-feed centerless grinding services. It soon expanded its services to include thru-feed and in-feed centerless, cylindrical and internal grinding. This segment of its business is now the GrindAll division. To better manage the quality and consistency of size tolerance, straightness, roundness and surface finish of the bars, the company formed the AccuRod division. It warehouses all types of materials on-site. In 1998, the company built a state-of-the-art, 45,000-square-foot facility in Woburn, Mass.
