Common Questions
At once: the quote builder prices a part from its grade, thickness, size, quantity, bends, welds and finish. Send the drawing and an estimator confirms it within one working day.
DXF and DWG for flat parts, STEP for formed parts and assemblies, PDF for anything else. Dimensions in millimetres or inches.
No minimum quantity. Every order line carries a $85 set-up and programming charge, so ten parts cost far less each than one.
Yes: 6% off from 10 parts; 12% off from 50 parts; 18% off from 200 parts; 24% off from 1,000 parts.
Cut parts ship in 2 working days, a day more with bending, three more with welding, plus the finish. Express takes 40% off the days for 25% more.
On our own trucks within 500 miles, by carrier anywhere in the lower 48, or collect from Pittsburgh for nothing.
Yes: we cut against a forecast and hold the parts, then deliver against your call-offs.
