Our band saws and flame cutting machines offer fast, efficient solutions for both low and high-volume orders. One of eight total band saws on-site, our Marvel band saw machine can cut up to 36-inch beams. All our band saws offer miter cutting up to 60 degrees, allowing us to cut almost any metal piece at an angle.Our flame-cutting services provide an exceptionally efficient cutting solution for rugged applications. Our two multi-torch oxyfuel-oxyacetylene processing machines can cut pieces up to 15 inches in thickness, allowing for maximum versatility when cutting your metal. The flame cutting process produces an oxide slag, which is later removed from the material through our grinding process.

Our powerful 800AMP AKS plasma cutting machine offers beveling and countersinking capabilities and features a 10-foot by 22-foot cutting envelope and 5-axis articulating heads. Our plasma cutting machine leaves metal pieces with a cleaner finish than band saw or flame cutting, resulting in less machining after cutting your pieces.Waterjet Cutting
