Sheet metalworking techniques refer to the methods used to manipulate and shape thin, flat sheets of metal into various forms, structures, and products. These techniques are essential in the manufacturing and construction industries, where sheet metal is used extensively in the production of various products such as cabinets, countertops, ceilings, and roofing materials, along with many others.

One of the most common sheet metal techniques is cutting. There are various methods of cutting sheet metal, including laser cutting, plasma cutting, water jet cutting, and shearing. Laser cutting involves using a high-powered laser beam to cut through the metal sheet, while plasma cutting uses a high-temperature plasma arc to melt and cut the metal. Water jet cutting, on the other hand, uses a high-pressure jet of water to cut through the metal, while shearing involves cutting the sheet metal using a specialized cutting tool.

At RJ Steel & Copper we specialize in bending and welding, sheet, galvanized, textured and expanded metals using a brake press to create bends and angles. This technique is essential in the creation of various products such as brackets, enclosures, and electrical cabinets. We have Red Seal welders on staff to assure quality goes into every piece. Nothing leaves the shop without thorough inspection and if it’s not right, it’s corrected before you see it.

At RJ Steel we use other metals as well using these techniques, including stainless steel, brass, copper, and even aluminum.
