Steel bar stock racked in an industrial supply warehouse

Capabilities · Cut & cert

More than a warehouse. A cut-and-cert shop.

Saws, shears, a plasma table, and calibrated inspection benches behind the Liberty Avenue racks. Here is the equipment, the tolerances we hold, the grades we stock, and exactly how a drawing becomes parts on your dock.

RFQ walkthrough

Drawing in, quote out, on the dock

Four steps from a file on your desktop to processed, certified material on your loading dock.

Upload your drawing

PDF, STEP, DXF, or a photo with a note — attach it to the RFQ form or email the sales desk directly.

2

Same-day quote

Line pricing, cut and processing charges, certs included, and a firm lead time land in your inbox before close of business.

3

PO & scheduling

Approve the quote; we slot the cuts and pull material from the Pittsburgh or Columbus DC nearest your ship-to.

4

Processed, papered, shipped

Parts cut to tolerance, MTRs bundled, and on the dock — same-day local, 2-day across the Eastern US.

Frequently asked

Capabilities & RFQ questions

What file formats can I send with an RFQ?
PDF drawings, STEP/IGES solids, DXF flat patterns, or a marked-up photo and a note. The sales desk reads all of them. If all you have is a length and a grade, a phone call works too — most cut orders never need a formal drawing.
What tolerance can you hold on a cut?
Standard cut-to-length tolerance is ±0.030″ on the cold saws. On the CNC band saw and shear we hold ±0.015″; on plate through the plasma table, ±0.060″ on profile. If your print calls for tighter, tell us at RFQ and we will confirm feasibility and price before you commit.
Do certifications ship with the order?
Yes — mill test reports (MTRs), ANSI/ASTM Declarations of Conformity, and, where applicable, NIST-traceable calibration certs travel with the material on the same truck. You do not chase paperwork two weeks after the steel lands.
How fast is an RFQ turned around?
A drawing or parts list uploaded before 2pm Eastern is quoted the same business day — line pricing, cut and processing charges, and lead time. Complex weldment or multi-material packages may take a second day; we tell you which at intake.
Is there a minimum order for cut-to-spec?
No hard minimum. We will cut a single 18-inch drop off a 20-foot stick. Cut charges are flat per cut, so single pieces are priced honestly rather than penalized. Bulk and blanket orders get processing built into the unit price.
