Cleanly sheared and straight-cut edges, which enable fineblanked parts to hold very tight dimensional tolerances throughout the thickness of the part. The straight-cut edges also provide excellent and functional bearing surfaces.		Rolled stock strength: fineblanked parts are made with rolled stock, which makes them inherently stronger than powder metal components and cast components. Often this increased strength enables engineers to design smaller, lighter fineblanked components than would be designed for PM or casting.
Excellent flatness, as a result of the counter pressure applied throughout the blanking cycle. This often eliminates the need for secondary grinding or in a part that needs to be ground reduces the amount of stock that needs to be removed and therefore reduces the grinding cycle time and cost.
				Design Freedom: Multi-station progressive fineblanking tooling can create intricate parts with many features including forms, bends, coining, countersinks, counter-bores and more.
		Positional accuracy and repeatability,           as a result of the construction of fineblank           tooling; true position tolerances can be held           very closely and all parts throughout the life           of a tool.
Small pierced holes relative to material thickness and holes pierced close to edges, which enable fineblanked parts to be more cost effective than fully machined parts and conventionally stamped parts that need secondary machining.
