PRECISION METAL SLITTING SERVICES

Our precision metal slitting services transform wide coils into narrower strips with exacting tolerances required for manufacturing, electronics, automotive, and aerospace applications. Whether you need custom widths for specialized components or standard sizes for production runs, our state-of-the-art equipment and experienced operators deliver consistent quality.

CUSTOM METAL SLITTING SPECIFICATIONS & TOLERANCES

Precision slitting offers significant advantages, including material optimization, reduced waste, consistent material properties across strips, and production efficiency. Our steel slitting shop enables us to work in gauge ranges from 0.005 to 0.134. Depending on the thickness of the material, we can slit material from 1/4" to 48” wide and in 16” to 20” I.D. We hold slit width tolerances within +/—0.005”.

Our metal cutting capabilities are completely customizable to your needs. Whatever specifications or tight tolerances your project requires, Mead Metals will deliver with precision. 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 us for details.

Mead Metals offers prime materials and world-class value-added services to deliver the steel products our customers need, exactly the way they need them. Contact us today for more information on our steel slitting shop.

Frequently Asked Questions

What metals can Mead Metals slit?
Mead Metals slits a full range of specialty metals, including stainless steel, beryllium copper, phosphor bronze, brass, copper, cold rolled steel, and spring steel. If you're ordering material from us, we can process it at the same time — one order, one partner, less coordination.
What are your slitting tolerances?
Our standard slit width tolerance is ±0.005". We work in gauge ranges from 0.005" to 0.134" and can slit material from ¼" to 48" wide in 16" to 20" I.D. coils. If your application requires tighter tolerances, talk to your sales rep — we'll tell you directly what's achievable for your specific material and gauge.
How quickly can I get a quote for slitting services?
Our average quote response time is 4 hours. Submit your specs — material type, gauge, width, quantity — through our Quick Quote process and a sales rep will follow up the same business day. No waiting, no runaround. That's the Mead Edge.
What industries do you slit for?

Our slitting services support manufacturers in automotive, electronics, aerospace, medical device, and general manufacturing. If your production requires precise strip widths, consistent tolerances, and documented quality, we're built for it. Check out a list of industries we serve.

We always get great service and quick turnaround on quotes.
