Capabilities

Our FIRSTCUT+® Services include Precision Shearing, Hi-Definition Plasma Cutting, Slitting, Edging, Cut-To-Length/Leveling, Water Jet Cutting, Laser Cutting, and Precision Sawing to further extend our customer commitment.

Cut to Length

  • A Cut-To-Length line will uncoil the material, level it, and then cut it to the required length and stack it.We can custom line mark sheets to MILS, AMS and ASTM standards. We also can insert paper or vinyl protection

    Edging

    Strips of steel may require specific edge conditioning and are rolled to smooth the edges and remove burrs.Our in-house edging capabilities include the ability to deliver a #1 round skived edge, #5 partial or full square skived edge, #5 rolled edge, or a #3 slit edge.  2R and 3R groove inserts are available as well as traverse wound coils based on your customers' requests.

    Laser Cutting

    Laser cutting uses a beam emitted from a laser tube reflected by mirrors in the laser head and a lens that finely focuses the beam onto the material surface for precise cutting. We offer quick turnaround, state-of-the-art equipment and popular approvals like Pratt & Whitney, Nadcap and General Electric.  We also offer reverse engineering and state-of-the art inspection with our Virtek Laser QC scanner.

    Leveling

    Flat or even surfaces are ensured through our in-house leveling capabilities.  Our skilled operators are experts at surface inspection, maintaining flatness and performing shape correction. The inventory at United Performance Metals is carefully checked with calibrated micrometers on the edge of the sheet and in the center crown area.

    Plasma Cutting

    In Plasma Cutting, a column of electrically charged gas creates a high-energy arc, which melts the material being worked in a narrow path. Our Messer Hi-definition plasma cutter is capable of cutting stainless and nickel plate up to 5” thick

    Sawing

    We utilize band saws, cold saws, and plate saws to provide the flexibility to tackle almost any cutting requirement, regardless of size. Our Kasto plate saw provides close tolerance, straight line sawing on plate with a very clean finish and can cut through 24” thick material.

    Shearing

    Shearing is the process of cutting sheet metal to size out of a larger roll or flat stock.  Using an angled moving blade, the shear cuts progressively across the sheet in a guillotine-like action. Our 36" x 48" sheet easily ships via FedEx for your most pressing needs.  We offer PVC protection to eliminate scratches.

    Slitting

    Slitting is the process of cutting larger width coils into narrower width coils to meet a customers’ demands.With five slitters including 12”, 18” turret, 18” light gauge, 24” and 50”, we have one of the most comprehensive slitting operations in the country.

    Water Jet Cutting

    A waterjet uses a high pressure stream of water combined with a granular additive.  As the pressurized mixture passes through a small diameter nozzle, it forms a coherent jet of abrasive/water moving at very high speeds which will erode a narrow line in a stock material. Streamline your manufacturing process by receiving near net shapes and blanks

    Packaging

    United Performance Metals employs industry leading packaging solutions to protect your order. All of our crates and skids are produced from high quality Hardwood and Southern Yellow Pine. In addition to several standard size skids and crates, we are also equipped to build custom sizes to meet your specific requirements. Ocean, Air and UPS packaging is also available.
