Special Profile Yield ExampleWhy Cold Drawn Steel Special Profiles/Shapes from Precision Kidd are Better

  • Dramatically reduces machining time/steel costs
  • Significantly reduces material loss and improves yields
  • Provides the lowest tooling costs for precision tolerances
  • Improves manufacturing capabilities without adding machinery/tooling
  • Enables automated production of difficult/complex parts
  • Suits lean manufacturing techniques
  • Reduces manpower and training costs
  • Enables larger manufacturer to re-focus manpower/resources
  • Enables smaller manufacturer to compete

Note: Special shapes/profiles can be made in both bar and wire products. Sizes include:

  • Bar: From .028″ to 3″ thick and up to 5″ wide (maximum cross section 9 sq. in.)
  • Wire: From .028″ to .750″ diameter

Substantial Savings are Possible

Cold drawn steel shapes/profiles could save you up to 75% or more on the cost of machining parts. You can eliminate machining steps and scrap loss. If you are machining “Premium Valued Material” (Tool Steel, High Speed, and Stainless Steels), the savings with special shapes/profiles can provide even more significant Yield Savings Dollars.

Special Profile Yield Example

You may be able to make finished steel parts by just sawing sections of the cold drawn steel shape bar, then finish the part with little or no additional machining.
