United Performance Metals expands slitting/edging operations

United Performance Metals has added a new edging line at its Hamilton, Ohio, headquarters. The existing edging line and 12-in. slitting equipment from the Ohio facility have been transferred to the West Coast branch in La Mirada, Calif., allowing slitting and edging capabilities in both facilities.

“Edging lines are capable of delivering a #1 round or #5 partial or full square skived edge,” said Operations Manager Roger Haire. “Our edging equipment can also be customized to minimize camber for customers who require the tightest tolerance. 2R and 3R groove inserts are also available.”
