We provide expert heavy plate shearing services at our facility in Nisku, Alberta, specifically equipped to handle material up to one inch thick (25.4 mm). As your leading metal manufacturer, we utilize large-capacity hydraulic shears to deliver straight-line cuts for common structural grades such as A36, 44W, and 50W.
Our shearing process offers several advantages for your industrial projects:
- Clean Edges: We produce straight, square, and consistent edges without the heat-affected zones (HAZ) typically created by thermal cutting methods.
- Precision and Accuracy: Our equipment features CNC-controlled back gauging and adjustable blade rake and clearance, maintaining dimensional tolerances between ±0.005 and ±0.015 inches depending on the plate dimensions.
- Efficiency: Shearing is often a more cost-effective and faster method for straight-line cutting compared to plasma, preserving the base-metal toughness of the steel.
Beyond simple cutting, we offer full service steel processing, which means your 1-inch plate can move directly from the shear into secondary operations such as press brake forming, structural plate rolling, or high-definition plasma cutting. Every project is backed by our commitment to Safety First and rigorous material traceability.
