Precision Cutting
Our Sheet metal cutting services includes a number of techniques used to cut metal into smaller pieces so that it can be molded or formed into components.
Precision Shearing uses a specialized machine to cut sheet metal by applying shear stress. This process is used to cut large sheets of metal into smaller parts.
Equipment
Cutting & Shearing
- 1 - Cincinnat Power Shears x 12’ Up to 3/8” plate, ¼ Stainless Steel
- 1 - Cincinnat Power Shears x 10’ Up to 12 Ga. Stainless Steel
- 1 - CNC Plasma - 5’ x 10’ bed up to ¾” thick
Waterjet Cutting
A water jet is a tool capable of slicing into metal or other materials using a jet of water at high velocity and pressure, or a mixture of water and an abrasive substance. The process is essentially the same as water erosion found in nature but accelerated and concentrated by orders of magnitude. Our Flow I-6012 Waterjet includes the following features:
- 6.5’ x 12’ (2m x 3.6m) Work Bed
- Equipped with Dynamic Waterjet Precision Z-Axis
- 87,000 psi Hyper Pressure Technology System
- FlowMaster Software
- Precision & Abrasive Waterjet Cutting Services
- Range of materials from 1/16” - 8” thick
- Cuts 25-400% faster than conventional waterjets
- Improves cut part tolerances at significantly higher speeds
- Eliminates taper to < 1 degree
- True part stacking ability with consistent tolerance layer to layer
- No secondary finishing
- Cuts a variety of materials, such as metal, stone, glass & composites
- Cuts parts using CAD file or scanned drawing
Precision Forming
Our Sheet metal forming processes include those actions used to fashion metal into specific shapes or semi-finished pieces. Our most common techniques include bending, forming, rolling, stamping, punching, welding, hardware and fastener creation.
Bending and forming processes are used to shape the sheet metal to its final shape. In the rolling process, a series of roll stands is used to progressively shape or bend a strip of flat-rolled metal to a desired cross section. Stamping is the process of impressing surface definition and three-dimensional designs onto materials with pressurized tools and dies. Punching is the process of punching holes in the sheet metal.

Precision Welding
Our Sheet metal welding process is the joining of metals and metal parts by melting and re-forming a metal bond between materials, with or without additional filler metal.
Our welders are AWS.D1.1 certified. Specializing in Mig, Tig & Arc. Materials include stainless steel, mild steel, aluminum, galvanized & copper
