Hydraulic Metal Cutting Services
Our hydraulic press bench cutting service, also known as shearing, is the cornerstone of efficient metal fabrication. It’s designed to deliver clean, straight-line cuts on sheet and plate metal with exceptional speed and accuracy, providing the perfect starting point for any high-quality project. We turn raw stock into precisely dimensioned blanks, ready for the next stage of production. Our workshop is equipped with a high-tonnage hydraulic shear capable of handling a wide range of materials and dimensions. We pride ourselves on tight tolerances and pristine results.

Why Trust Us with Your Cutting Needs?
-
Burr-Free Edges: Our machine’s blades are meticulously maintained and calibrated to produce exceptionally clean cuts with minimal burring, reducing the need for secondary finishing operations.
-
Speed & Cost-Effectiveness: For straight-line cuts, hydraulic shearing is significantly faster and more economical than laser or plasma cutting, especially for high-volume orders.
-
No Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ): Shearing is a cold-cutting process. This means the material’s structural integrity and metallurgical properties at the edge are not compromised by heat, which is a critical factor for subsequent welding or forming.
-
Engineering Oversight: Every job is reviewed by our engineering team to ensure optimal material utilization and adherence to your project’s specifications.
What Hydraulic Cutting Involve?
Materials We Frequently Shear
- Carbon & Mild Steel (e.g., A36, 1018)
- Stainless Steel (e.g., 304, 316L)
- Aluminum (e.g., 5052, 6061)
- Brass & Copper Sheet
When selecting a workshop, ask about the sharpness of their blades and their blade gap calibration. A dull blade or incorrect gap will cause material to deform or create a rough, angled edge instead of a clean cut. Also, inquire about their clamping system to ensure your material won’t slip during the cut, guaranteeing accuracy.
Advantages Over Other Methods
-
vs. Plasma/Laser Cutting: Shearing is faster and cheaper for straight cuts and produces no Heat-Affected Zone.
-
vs. Abrasive Saw Cutting: Shearing is much faster, cleaner (no dust or sparks), and produces a smoother edge that typically requires less deburring.
FAQs On Steel Metal Cutting
Can you cut shapes other than rectangles?
Our hydraulic shear is specialized for straight-line cuts only. For complex profiles, we would recommend a different process like plasma or laser cutting.
What information do you need for a quote?
We need the material type, thickness, dimensions of the final pieces, and the total quantity required. A simple drawing or cut list is perfect.
Will my material get scratched?
We use material hold-downs designed to secure the sheet firmly without marring the surface. For delicate materials, we can take extra protective measures.
