We just brought in a fresh mill run: over 1,000,000 lbs of mill flat plate, cut to size and staged on our floor right now. If your next job needs plate steel, this isn’t something we have to source, it’s sitting here.

Cut three ways, in one shop
Stocking the plate is the easy part. What makes it useful to contractors and fabricators is that we cut it ourselves, in-house, with three different processes depending on what the job calls for.
Flame cutting handles the heavy sections, up to 5″ plate. Laser cutting runs up to 1″ thick, for tight tolerances and a clean edge straight off the machine. Plasma cutting keeps fast-turn jobs moving when you don’t need laser-grade precision. Between the three, we cut just about any part you can draw, not only stock shapes.
Flame cutting: the heavy stuff
Flame cutting works by preheating the steel with a fuel-gas flame to around 1,800°F, then blasting a jet of pure oxygen through it. The oxygen burns the steel and blows the slag clear, and the torch tracks the cut the whole way through. It’s how we get through plate too thick for laser or plasma to touch cleanly.
Once a piece is cut, it gets staged, checked, and loaded out. Here’s a plate coming off the line, ready to load for a customer’s job. Want to see it happen and spin the actual stock size yourself? Check out our Mill Flat Plate quote page.
Road plates: drilled, tapped, non-skid
We also build steel road plates from this same 1″ stock. Each one is drilled and tapped to your bolt pattern, then coated with a non-skid finish for traction on the jobsite or roadway. Below is a load staged and chained down for shipment.

Frequently asked questions
How much 1″ plate do you have in stock?
Over 1,000,000 lbs of 1″ flat mill plate, cut to size and staged for shipment as of this run. Call to confirm current stock before you order.
What cutting processes do you offer?
Flame cutting up to 5″ plate, laser cutting up to 1″ for tight tolerances, and plasma cutting for fast-turn parts. All three run in-house, so a part goes from raw plate to finished cut without leaving our shop.
Can you cut custom parts, not just plate?
Yes. Send us your drawing and we’ll cut it on whichever process fits the thickness and tolerance you need.
Do you make steel road plates?
Yes, drilled and tapped to your bolt pattern with a non-skid coating applied for traction on the jobsite or roadway. Ask about sizes and lead time.
