they’re dependable, and they pro- vide customers with quality product minus the high cost that comes with those that are computer-operated. “Our equipment is all manual and


not CNC operated because of what we do,” Simon said. “It may take three hours to make a part on a man- ual machine, but on a CNC machine, it might take you three hours just to write the program to make that part.” Another advantage to customers


of Metal Fab is priceless. If custom- ers own a piece of equipment from a vendor that is no longer in business – and a part in the equipment breaks – what can they do? Bring it to Metal Fab.


“We can replicate that piece,” Beal


said. In fact, Metal Fab once had to make a new part for Tarco Steel’s shear– and the equipment was up and running the same day. Customers who purchase products overseas may also call Metal Fab, particularly if time is of the essence.


Metal Fab has the capacity to bend plate that is 1/2” thick up to 10’ feet long on its two apron brakes.


The press brake can form 1/8” plate up to 12’ long, 3/16” plate up to 10’ long and 1/4” plate up to 8’ long. CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTOR 1ST QUARTER 2010 | 21
