Getting What you Need is No Joke

We now cut paper with the plasma cutter! April Fools'!!!

While the origins of April Fools' are varied, we can come to the determination it helps break up the monotony of, in most instances, the predictability of our day-to-day. Cutting paper with a laser cutter might be over the top, where using scissors would be sufficient to accomplish the task. All jokes aside, having the right tools for the job can lead to better quality and efficiency like making your own scissors.

General Supply and Metals, Inc (GSM) specializes in providing an assortment of metal products including a variety of custom made parts. Typically, we might associate making custom parts specifically for creating a product but we can also come to the determination we can make custom tools. GSM does this internally within the company.

A good example are the slats placed on the cutting tables with the plasma, water, and flame cutters. These particular parts are first sheared to size then slotted into place in order for plates or sheets to securely sit on them. This allows a gap for the cutting material to cut through the plate or sheet. These slats eventually wear, from the cutting, and are replaced with new sheared ones once needed.

What does this all mean for your company or project?

First and foremost, GSM helps you determine what your needs are for your project. They provide expert advice to help you solve a problem or suggest the right solution for your needs. GSM has many products but sometimes you may need something that's more customized... Like making a custom wrench or even custom scissors from the plasma cutter or water jet! The GSM staff possesses creativity and reliable hands-on experience that's actually cutting edge in this modern world. :)

In many instances, having a mass produced tool at your disposal, is obviously a good thing. There are reasons why they are produced in large quantity. There are times, though, when you are going to need something that's specific to your project where a custom solution would greatly influence the efficiency, quality, and the repeatability of the process. That's where GSM can provide solutions to meet your needs. Whatever your needs are, GSM is there for you, making sure that your product and services do well, means that, everyone does well. And that's no joke.
