Capabilities
Metal fabrication capabilities
Stainless TIG welding leads. Around it is everything a part needs between the drawing and the truck: cutting, forming, machining and finishing, in one shop.
- Stainless steel
- Sheet, plate, tube and pipe
- Carbon steel
- Plate, shapes, tube and pipe
- Aluminum
- Sheet, plate and extrusions
- Finishing
- Powder coating and painting in-house

DetailsIn-house
Every step under one roof
A part that is cut in one shop, bent in another and welded in a third picks up delay and blame at each door. Here it does not leave the building.
- Cutting
- CNC plasma on a 5 ft x 10 ft water table. Tube, pipe and shapes on a dual-miter band saw.
- Forming
- CNC press brake forming, plate rolling, and pipe, tube and section bending with digital readouts.
- Welding
- Pulsed AC/DC TIG for stainless, aluminum and thin-wall work. Pulsed MIG for production welding of carbon steel, stainless and aluminum.
- Machining
- A vertical mill and an engine lathe for fittings, bushings, pins, threads and base-plate prep. Magnetic drill with annular cutters.
- Finishing
- Stainless finished to your drawing: as-welded, blended, sanitary or brushed. Bead blasting for small parts. Powder coating and painting are done in-house, so a part can leave the shop finished.
- Design help
- No CAD file? Send a dimensioned sketch and photos. We draw the part up as part of the job and send it back for approval before we cut.
Scope
What we do not do
We do not install. RD Metal Works is a fabrication shop. When a project needs field installation, we team with a partner shop so you still get one package, and the bid says who is doing what.
We do not guess at specs. If your job calls for a particular welding code, certification, inspection or paperwork, tell us with the drawings. We will say up front whether we can meet it.
Send us your drawings.
You get a real bid back fast, from the people who will build it.
