Custom Cuts: Precision Metal Cutting Tailored to Your Needs

For all types of metal projects, custom metal cutting provides the precision and flexibility needed to meet specific requirements. Whether working in construction, engineering, automotive, or manufacturing, custom cuts ensure that every piece of metal fits perfectly, saving both time and resources.

When you need custom cut sheet metal, custom cut metal plates, or cut to size metals, Forward Metals is the trusted choice for delivering materials that perfectly align with your project needs. We understand that every project is unique, and we’re here to provide the perfect solution, no matter the complexity.

Why Choose Metal Cut to Size?

Opting for custom cut metal brings several significant advantages:

  • No Specialist Tools Needed: You avoid the need for expensive specialist equipment. The cutting is done for you, making it easier to focus on your project.
  • Less Waste: By receiving the precise dimensions you need, you eliminate excess material, contributing to a more sustainable and efficient project.
  • Saves Time: Custom cuts allow you to skip the preparation process and get straight to work, reducing project delays.
  • Enhanced Accuracy: Precision is key, and custom cutting ensures your materials fit exactly as required, minimising costly mistakes down the line.

What Materials Do We Cut?

Forward Metals offers a wide selection of materials available for custom cutting:

  • Aluminium: Known for being lightweight and resistant to corrosion, aluminium is used in countless applications. We offer custom cuts in both plates and sheets, tailored to your specific project needs.
  • Stainless Steel: Strong, durable, and resistant to corrosion, stainless steel is ideal for tougher applications. Our custom cuts in stainless steel ensure precision for all kinds of projects.
  • Brass: Perfect for projects that require a touch of elegance, brass is often used for decorative purposes. We provide high-quality custom cut brass to meet exact specifications.
  • Acetal Round Bars: Acetal is a strong, low-friction material commonly used in mechanical applications. We provide custom cuts for acetal round bars, perfect for industries that require durable, easy-to-machine components.
  • Polycarbonate Sheets: For transparent applications requiring strength and impact resistance, polycarbonate sheets are a go-to material. We offer custom cutting for polycarbonate to meet your exact size and shape specifications.

For more complex shapes, such as box sections, channels, round bars, and angles, we have the expertise and tools to tackle even the most challenging cuts with precision.

Our popular cutting service allows us to cut your items to the sizes required.

Custom cuts checkout tool

Since we introduced our custom cutting service back in 2008, it has become very popular.

For this reason, we decided to update the site so that you can type in the cut size you need your bars, sheet or treadplates to be without having to select a size and then add in endless cutting instructions to get the perfect size you require, making ordering on the site much quicker, easier and straight forward

A bit of small print

We all hate the small print, but don’t be put off. In the spirit of “measure twice, cut once” – we only need to point out two tediously obvious points:

  • We sometimes receive requests to cut down along the length of a tube or bar. We do not have the facility to carry this out and can only cut across the width to bring the bar down to a required length.
  • We endeavour to cut as accurately as possible. However, we are not precision engineers and generally, unless specifically asked, our tolerance is +/- 2mm. If greater accuracy is required, please do contact us and we will try to accommodate your tolerances.

Folding Service

Alongside custom cuts, we also offer an in house folding service.

We can offer folding on materials such as aluminium, stainless steel, and plastic, typically in sheet or plate form, up to 4mm.

This service is available for £5 per fold.
