Tube Cutting
Contract Tube Cut-Off
We specialize in contract tube cutting of all workable alloys, including stainless steel hypodermic tubing (hypotube), exotics, brass & copper. We use a multi-stage fabrication process to shear cut tubular parts with no scrap between cuts. Most end forming is accomplished during the tube cut-off process. Tubular parts are also bent without kinking.
- Burr-free shear cut ends; finishing is available to remove sharp edges
- Most cut tube end configurations can be done simultaneously
- Clean, square cut edges, with little OD/ID distortion and no collapse
- Precision tube fabricating & bending services – up to billions of parts per run

Precision Cut Tubing
Our custom tube shear cutting machines can cut, bend, and end form your tubular parts as short as 0.020″ ± 0.001″ with little OD/ID distortion, burr-free, and with no material loss between cuts. Square cut edges, with most end forming achieved in-process. Runs from hundreds to billions of parts.

Contract Tube Cutting
Contract tube cutting of all workable alloys, including exotics, stainless steel, Rodar/Kovar®, 52 Alloy, brass and copper. We’ll cut your tubing or source tubing for you (including custom tube sizes). End configurations are done simultaneously. Tubular parts are bent without kinking, with little distortion and no collapse to the outside or inside diameters.

Shear-Cut Tubular Parts
Fast and efficient, shear cutting can be combined with other forming processes to save time and reduce costs. Shear cutting produces no material loss between parts, leading to significant cost savings. With tight tolerances and square cuts, shear cutting achieves extremely high production rates and is scalable for high-volume runs.

Metal Spacers and Bushings
Precision-cut metal spacers and bushings for stand-offs, sleeves, axles, pins, distance bushings, and custom components. Shear cutting creates burr-free, square cut edges with no material loss between cuts. Lengths range from 0.020″ to 18″, with tolerances to ± 0.001.” Runs are scalable from hundreds to billions of parts.

Supported Shear Cutting of Tubing
Shear cutting alone (without ID support) would introduce some inner diameter distortion. Innovative in-house tooling at Four Slide Products delivers all of the benefits of shear cutting plus internal and external support to eliminate distortion. Suitable for all workable alloys, with diameters up to 1/2″ x 0.020″ wall standard (or larger upon request).

Electro-Chemical Tube Cutting
The Electro-Chemical cutting process consists of an abrasive/conductive blade, a 12 volt DC power source and an electrolyte solution. The DC current flows from the work piece through the electrolyte to the blade. This provides deburring through a reverse plating process. Most electrically conductive materials are suitable, however some are better suited due to their conductive properties.

Shear Tube Cutting vs. Laser Tube Cutting
Shear tube cutting is more affordable than laser tube cutting. In addition, lasers can only perform one function: cutting. As a result, additional fabrication steps such as bending and end forming must be setup separately. Therefore, we recommend shear tube cutting for your primary tube fabrication needs. Customers who require etching or labeling can then schedule laser tube cutting as a secondary operation through another vendor.
