Custom Slitting
Coil slitting involves running flat rolled metal products through slitter heads composed of knives that cut and break metal into narrower widths. Coils are cut, carefully inspected for defects, recoiled and reworked to correct any incoming shape issues and defects. We manage all of your custom slitting needs on our state-of-the-art steel slitters:
Light to medium gauge (0.007 – 0.165 inches) 72-inch-wide Octagon slitter
