The Power of One-Piece Construction At Toledo Metal Spnning Company, we have been forming metals since 1929. With nearly a century of experience, we have mastered a wide range of processes including laser cutting, metal spinning, deep drawing, machining, rolling and seam welding, to build strong and durable high-performance parts. But what truly sets us
Laser Cutting 101 What is laser cutting and how does it work? The laser beam is a heat source which can melt metals rather quickly. When the concentrated beam comes into contact with the material, in this case, metal, the beam’s energy is absorbed into the metal, causing it to melt. However, the laser beam
Laser cutting produces efficient, precise cuts with smooth, uniform edges in both small and large runs on materials up to 1 in. thick. It’s no surprise that the process has become extremely popular, and manufacturers and fabricators now rely on laser cutting more than ever. Laser Cutting Basics A laser is a source of intense

Cylinders – The Forming Process Custom cylinders are made through a process that begins by putting a flat sheet of material into the laser and programming it to cut rectangles out of various materials to specific sizes. If the cylinder has any customizations or features including custom holes, windows or other shapes, these are cut
