CUSTOM METAL FINISHING & PROCESSING:
Our steel processing services and capabilities include:
Steel Slitting
Mead Metals offers precision narrow-width steel slitting with tolerances within ± 0.005”. We can slit any metal product we offer to match your specifications.
Steel Leveling/Steel Blanking
We offer steel leveling and steel blanking (cut-to-length) of pieces in 3-48” widths and 12-120” lengths. Custom sizes are also available - contact Mead Metals for details.
Edging/Steel Edge Rolling and Deburring
Through steel edge conditioning and deburring, we remove sharp edges and any edge imperfections that may result from metal cutting. These processes add a safety edge to your metal products. Steel edge rolling capacity: 1/2” to 10” wide.
Aluminum Processing
Precision aluminum processing services designed to meet tight tolerances, streamline production, and deliver reliable performance for demanding manufacturing applications.
De-cambering
De-cambering services smooth out and flatten steel products. Whether metal is bowed off the coil, from processing, or any other reason, de-cambering will leave it flat and square. De-cambering capacity: 1/2” to 10” wide.
Shearing
By offering close tolerance shearing, we can deliver metal products to match customer project requirements.
Cutting
Giving our customers precision cut parts in nearly any size, length, or shape to match their specifications is possible with our metal cutting capabilities.
Milling
Available milling services include gauge correction and temper rerolling set to the customer’s exact specifications.
Toll Processing
We offer the machining and metal finishing services listed above for customers who supply their own materials, as well. Nearly any metal product our customers bring to our facility can be processed with the same quality and care we put into processing our own materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, and most customers do. We routinely process orders that combine slitting, leveling, cut-to-length, and edge conditioning in a single run. Fewer handoffs mean fewer opportunities for error — and getting everything done at once shortens your lead time significantly.

Outstanding Customer Service from Al Van Sloun. He made sure I was able to receive the 1050 steel strip in excellent time. The quality of the steel is excellent and just what we need for testing and manufacturing.
