Temper Mill
If you’re looking for extremely flat, cut-to-length steel, you’ve come to the right place. Norfolk Iron & Metal’s temper mill is instrumental in producing what you need to succeed.
There are a handful of different temper mills on the market today, but none are as advanced as the temper mill cut-to-length coil line at Norfolk Iron & Metal. This temper mill can apply up to eight million pounds of force to remove any residual stress from your steel, and it’s guaranteed to meet ½ ASTM A6 flatness tolerances in the thinnest gauges. The precision flatness and surface quality generated from leveling and brushing makes the mill ideal for part-forming applications; it also improves the cutting speed of your lasers. This allows you to process exactly how you want.

| Thickness | .060–.787' |
| Length | 48–720" |
Laser Cutting
We use two types of lasers to create a quality product with strict tolerances. Our high-speed flying optic laser cutters produce accurate cuts in material up to 1¼" thick. And with an extremely large bed size (120" x 480"), we can work on larger parts with less waste. These lasers increase our accuracy and efficiency, which means you get the exact products you need.

Sawing
A vertical band saw with a 60° miter cut capacity is used for the most precise cuts on tubing, bar, and other metal products. This saw consistently produces the fastest and straightest cut in all conditions. We also utilize several other band and miter saws to process your order quickly, accurately, and within the strictest tolerance guidelines.
