Keep steel prep from becoming the bottleneck
Add saw cut-to-size and squaring so blocks and plates arrive closer to ready-to-machine.
If internal prep steps are eating capacity (cutting blanks, establishing reference faces, re-indicating after transfers), consider shifting that work upstream on the order.
IMS finishing services can be added to an order, including Saw Cut-to-Size and 6 Side Squaring (with other add-ons such as surface grinding and laser marking listed on the IMS services pages).
Our Process:
State-of-the-art machinery and a team of experienced technicians:
- Initial Inspection: carefully examination of the steel to identify imperfections or irregularities.
- Precision Cutting: precisely cut and shape the steel, ensuring that all six sides are perfectly squared.
- Quality Control: Each squared steel piece undergoes quality control checks to verify accuracy and compliance with the requirements.
- Fast Turnaround: We pride ourselves on quick turnaround times without compromising on quality.
IMS standard tolerances:
- Saw cut: +1/16 inch / -0
- Milling: +.004 inch / -0
Add to your next order:
- Saw Cut Only
- Plate processing: 2 sides, 4 sides, or 6 sides
- Surface grinding: top and bottom (optional)
Include:
- Grade
- Finished dimensions and quantity
- Execution selection (saw cut only vs 2, 4, or 6 sides)
- Any critical dimensions or special instructions in “Additional Info”
