Precision Saw Cutting Services

The right cut is more than a straight line — it's a precise dimension, a target weight, a defect-free cross-section, or a custom layout that saves material and reduces downstream cost. MSI Corporation's saw cutting services deliver all of it, with the equipment capacity and technical expertise to handle virtually any material, any size, and any specification requirement your project demands.

Saw Cutting Capabilities

MSI operates a comprehensive fleet of industrial saws purpose-built for heavy, large-format specialty metal processing. From massive titanium plates to precision billet cuts, our sawing systems cover the full spectrum of industrial cutting requirements — with tolerances and capacities that set us apart from conventional metal service centers.

High-Capacity Plate Saw

Our specialized plate saw is designed for the heaviest, longest cutting jobs in the specialty metals industry. With the ability to cut material up to 20 feet long and 16 inches thick at tolerances of ±1/16 inch, it handles jobs that exceed the capacity of standard industrial plate saws. For projects requiring cuts beyond 20 feet, extended-length capability is available upon request — giving customers a single-source solution regardless of material size.

Dual-Column Band Saws

MSI's dual-column band saws deliver precise, repeatable cuts on round, rectangular, and square sections with superior rigidity and minimal deflection. These systems handle cross-sections up to 51 inches wide and 42 inches thick — making them the right tool for large billet, heavy bar, and oversized block cutting where dimensional accuracy and edge quality are critical.

Scissor Saws

For high-production cutting of bar and smaller cross-section material, our scissor saws deliver fast, consistent results with minimal kerf loss. These systems are well-suited for volume cutting programs where throughput and repeatability are the priority.

Abrasive Saws

Certain specialty alloys and applications call for abrasive cutting rather than blade-based methods. MSI's abrasive saws handle hard-to-cut materials and provide a clean, precise cut face on alloys where blade life and heat generation would be concerns with conventional sawing approaches.

Cut-to-Weight Expertise

For many customers — particularly in aerospace and defense — the goal isn't just a straight cut. It's a precise final weight that meets a purchase order specification, minimizes material loss, and eliminates the need for secondary operations. MSI's cut-to-weight program combines ultrasonic testing, technician-guided layout, and precision sawing to deliver pieces cut to exact target weights with documented traceability.

Ultrasonic Layout

Before the first cut is made, MSI technicians use ultrasonic equipment to map the material — identifying internal defect locations, measuring thickness variation, and establishing cut lines that optimize yield while avoiding non-conforming zones. This step is particularly valuable for titanium and specialty alloy plate and billet where internal conditions aren't visible from the surface but directly affect the usability of cut pieces.

Technician-Guided Cut Lines

Our experienced technicians mark cut lines based on ultrasonic data, customer weight targets, drawing requirements, and defect removal objectives — ensuring every cut is made with full knowledge of what's inside the material, not just what's on the surface. This approach reduces scrap, maximizes yield, and gives customers the documentation they need to support downstream quality requirements.

Defect Removal Cutting

When material contains known surface or near-surface defects, precise saw cutting can isolate and remove non-conforming sections while preserving maximum usable material. MSI's technicians work from customer-supplied inspection data or our own in-house ultrasonic testing results to execute defect removal cuts that recover maximum material value.

Materials We Saw Cut

MSI's saw cutting services cover a wide range of metals and specialty alloys, in plate, slab, billet, bar, block, and round form:

• Titanium alloys — commercially pure grades, Ti-6Al-4V, and other aerospace-grade alloys in plate, billet, bar, and round form
• Stainless steel — all grades, plate and heavy slab
• High-nickel superalloys — Inconel, Hastelloy, and related materials
• Carbon and alloy steels — structural plate, heavy bar, and block
• Specialty and exotic alloys — cut to your exact specification

Industries Served

MSI's precision saw cutting services support manufacturers, processors, forgers, and distributors across industries where material quality and dimensional accuracy are critical:

• Aerospace and defense
• Power generation
• Oil and gas
• Medical device manufacturing
• Specialty metals distribution and processing
• Heavy industrial manufacturing

Why Choose MSI for Saw Cutting?

Capacity That Handles the Hardest Jobs

Twenty-foot plate cuts. Forty-two-inch thick sections. Fifty-one-inch wide billets. MSI's saw cutting capacity covers the size range that most facilities can't accommodate — and we do it with the precision tolerances and material care that aerospace and industrial customers require.

Cut-to-Weight Capability Nobody Else Offers

The combination of ultrasonic layout, experienced technicians, and precision sawing equipment gives MSI a cut-to-weight capability that goes well beyond what a standard metal service center can provide. If your purchase order calls for nominal weights, tight weight tolerances, or defect-free cross-sections, MSI has the process and the people to deliver it.

Over 50 Years of Specialty Metals Experience

Cutting titanium and specialty alloys correctly requires more than the right equipment — it requires the process knowledge to set blade speeds, coolant application, feed rates, and cut parameters for each specific alloy and cross-section. MSI's team has been doing this work since 1972, and that experience shows in the quality of every cut we make.

Full Traceability and Documentation

Every saw cutting job at MSI is supported by complete material traceability. Cut records, ultrasonic layout documentation, and weight certifications are available for every piece — giving your quality team the data they need to support downstream processing, customer requirements, and regulatory compliance.

Integrated Processing

Saw cutting is rarely the only operation your material requires. MSI's full-service 80,000 square foot facility means your material can move from saw cutting directly to grinding, milling, heat treating, shot blasting, or NDT inspection — all under one roof, with one point of contact and unbroken traceability throughout the entire processing sequence.
