Shear Cutting Services

Precision Metal Shearing for Stainless Steel, Duplex Stainless Steel and Aluminum Alloys

At Action Stainless, we provide high-precision shear cutting services, delivering clean, accurate cuts for stainless steel, duplex stainless steel and aluminum alloys. Our shearing fabrication service ensures precise edges, minimal material waste, and high efficiency, making us the go-to provider for industrial and commercial metal processing.

What is Shear Cutting?

Shear cutting is a high-speed metal cutting process that uses a straight, fixed blade to cut through sheet and plate materials with clean, burr-free edges. Unlike laser or plasma cutting, shear cutting does not produce heat-affected zones, making it ideal for applications requiring high structural integrity. Also, because of the “simplicity” of the process, shearing can produce a high volume of cuts in quick succession.

 

This process is commonly used for cutting flat sheets into precise dimensions before fabrication, forming, or assembly. Because the strips are being cut from a larger sheet or plate, you have maximum control over the width of each cut piece.

Shear Cutting Capabilities

Our precision metal shearing services can accommodate a wide range of material sizes and thicknesses while maintaining tight tolerances. Our team is able to shear stainless steel, aluminum, and duplex alloys to ensure your project requirements are met.
