Processing

A full spectrum of metal processing capabilities

In addition to the stock material products available at Valley Iron we also offer robust, custom metal processing. Our services support one-off parts in small quantities for single, unique projects all the way through to high volume, repeat production runs for our largest OEM customers. Whether your project is big, small or in between, we are the go-to partner you can count on for all your metal fabrication needs.

Band Saw

High-production sawing of bar, tube, angle and structural shapes to your cut list, with consistent lengths and a clean face on every cut.

Best for

  • Cut-to-length tube and structural for framing packages
  • Repeat production runs where cycle time matters
  • Nestable sawing that minimizes drop-off from bar stock

Flat Laser, CO₂ & Fiber Optic

Sheet and plate profiling in flat geometries — small holes, tight radii and complex blanks in carbon, stainless and aluminum up to full sheet width.

Best for

  • Gussets, base plates and mounting hardware in sheet
  • High-volume identical blanks from a single nest
  • Fine-detail work on thin-gauge stainless and aluminum
Capability detail →

Shape / Tube Laser

Laser cutting directly on tube, angle and structural shapes — end cuts, saddle notches and copes without welding a dedicated fixture.

Best for

  • Handrail and railing components
  • Structural connections and coped tube joints
  • Frame members that need both ends cut in one operation
Capability detail →

Plasma / Oxy-fuel Cutting

Heavy plate and thick sections where laser throughput runs out. Oxy-fuel for the very heavy stuff, plasma for the mid-range.

Best for

  • Plate over 1" that laser cannot cut economically
  • Structural shapes and heavy bar in long pieces
  • Rough cuts that will be machined or ground later
Capability detail →

Plate Processor / Peddinghaus

Flat plate rolled to radius, straightened and edge-prepared. We shape the plate so it arrives ready to weld into a finished part.

Best for

  • Cylinder shells and rolled sections
  • Pressure-vessel and tank components
  • Edge bevels and prep for automated welding
Capability detail →

Forming / Press Brake

CNC press-brake forming to your print — boxes, pans, brackets and enclosures from thin sheet through plate.

Best for

  • Enclosures, boxes and control cabinets
  • Brackets with tight tolerance on critical dimensions
  • Prototype forming before committing to hard tooling
Capability detail →

Shear

Straight cuts and resizes across sheet and plate. Fast, square and cheap when the cut line is simply a straight line.

Best for

  • Blank sizing from full sheet or plate
  • Straight-line trim on blanks already formed
  • Volume work where a die change would be overkill
Capability detail →

Threading

Tap and thread rod, pipe and tube so your parts arrive with the fastener already in place — no chasing threads on the shop floor.

Best for

  • Rod, pipe and tube ends ready for assembly
  • Fastener callouts on fabricated weldments
  • Repair and maintenance work orders
