Our equipment is designed to process oversized plate, billet, and bar stock with the capacity, accuracy, and consistency required for demanding aerospace, defense, energy, and industrial applications. From production cutting to defect removal and cut-to-weight processing, we deliver reliable results across a wide range of material sizes and specifications.

Large-Format Saw Cutting Capabilities

  • Up to 63" round cutting capacity
  • Up to 20'+ material length capacity
  • ±1/16" tolerance capability
  • Large billet, forged section, and oversized plate processing
  • 75-ton crane-supported material handling

Our Saw Cutting Capabilities

MSI operates multiple saw platforms optimized for different material sizes, geometries, and production requirements. Our capabilities include high-capacity plate saws for large-format processing, dual-column band saws for precision billet and bar cutting, and abrasive saw systems for demanding specialty metal applications. Each system is matched to the material, geometry, and production requirements to maximize cut quality, efficiency, and material utilization.

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.

High-Capacity Plate Saw

Our specialized plate saw is built for the heaviest, longest cutting jobs in the specialty metals industry. Built for large-format plate processing with precision and consistency, it cuts material up to 20 feet long and 18 inches thick while maintaining tolerances of ±1/16 inch.

This capability allows us to process jobs that exceed the limits of standard industrial plate saws, making it ideal for aerospace, defense, energy, and heavy industrial applications where size and accuracy are critical.

For projects requiring cuts beyond 20 feet, extended-length cutting capability is available upon request—providing customers with a single-source solution for oversized material processing.

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 blade deflection. Built for heavy-duty production and large-section material processing, these systems provide the stability and control required for consistent, high-quality results.

With cutting capacities up to 63 inches wide and 63 inches thick, these systems are ideal for large billets, heavy bar stock, and oversized blocks.

Dimensional accuracy, clean edges, and material integrity remain critical for downstream machining and fabrication, making these saws essential for high-value production work.

Abrasive Saw

For certain specialty alloys and demanding applications, abrasive cutting provides a better solution than conventional blade-based sawing. MSI’s abrasive saw is designed to handle hard-to-cut materials while delivering clean, precise cut faces where blade wear, material hardness, or heat generation can create challenges for traditional saws.

Equipped with a 36-inch abrasive wheel and a maximum cutting depth of 12 inches, this system is ideal for processing specialty metals and difficult alloys that require consistent performance and reliable cut quality.

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:

  • 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

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.
