Automated Sawing & Material Processing Services in Taylor, Michigan

Material arrives in standard lengths that need cutting to size, manual sawing wastes time, and inconsistent cuts create production unnecessary headaches. Finding shops that cut accurately without damaging material edges takes effort but is often critical for project success.

Motor City Metal Fab provides automated sawing and material processing services from our Taylor, Michigan facility. We cut bar stock, tubing, plate, and structural shapes for automotive companies, fabricators, and manufacturers who need precision lengths ready for production. Our reliable and automated saws deliver straight cuts with minimal burr formation. This is the level of quality you deserve.

We serve automotive prototype developers, aftermarket suppliers, transportation equipment builders, food service manufacturers, gas and oil operations, alternative energy companies including EVs and hydrogen fuel, testing facilities, autonomous vehicle developers, and car wash system manufacturers.

  • Accurate cuts that hold tight length tolerances 
  • Automated operation produces consistent and predictable results
  • Clean cuts reduce secondary deburring work, saving time and money 
  • Fast processing keeps material moving and project on time and in budget

Why Automated Sawing Actually Beats Manual Cutting

Manual band saws rely on operator skill and attention, which means cut angles drift during long runs and blade tension changes affect cut quality. This labor intensive process involves mistake prone hand measuring between cuts that lead to length variations that cascade across production runs. Not to mention it takes more time and is more prone to error. 

Automated sawing uses programmable controls to position material. The saw clamps stock, measures the programmed length, makes the cut, then repeats so every piece comes out the same length with square ends.

Actual and measurable benefits show up in your shop:

  • Repeatable accuracy across entire production runs (Critical for project success)
  • Reduces material waste from measurement errors (MItigating waste means saved time and money)
  • Faster throughput compared to manual operations (Keeps projects on time and in budget)
  • Labor freed up for higher value work (Maximizes employee effort)

Our Sawing Process and How it Works

We receive material in full length stock that needs cutting to size. We carefully and meticulously program cut lengths into our automated systems based on your specifications, and material feeds through positioning stops, gets clamped securely, then cut to programmed dimensions.

Our equipment handles both ferrous and nonferrous materials. Different blade speeds and feed rates get set for aluminum versus steel, and cut quality depends on matching saw parameters to material type and size.

  • Thorough material inspection verifies stock dimensions before cutting 
  • Automated positioning utterly eliminates hand measurement errors
  • Proper blade selection prevents material damage, saving time and money
  • Quality checks confirm and guarantee dimensional accuracy

Material Versatility

Our automated saws process round bar, square tubing, rectangular tubing, angle iron, channel, and flat plate. Capacity covers material from half inch diameter up to six inch structural shapes, depending on material type and wall thickness.

Material range includes steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and copper. Most jobs require and demand straight cuts to length, though some work needs angle cuts for miter joints or special applications.

  • Round and square tubing for frames and structures
  • Bar stock for machining operations
  • Plate material cut to blank sizes
  • Structural shapes for fabrication work

What Makes Our Sawing Different

Saw equipment means nothing without proper setup. Material must clamp firmly without crushing thin wall sections, blade tension affects cut straightness, and feed rates that work for steel will load up blades when cutting aluminum.

Our operators know these details. Blades stay sharp and get changed before they affect cut quality, equipment receives regular maintenance, and material handling prevents damage to finished edges.

  • Material knowledge prevents crushing and distortion
  • Blade maintenance produces clean, square cuts
  • Proper clamping holds tolerances across runs
  • Fast turnaround keeps production schedules moving
