Metal Shearing
Part processing steel plate includes getting the steel into the correct shape before it is bent or sent back to our customer. This is done on a CNC machine for more intricate parts or on a shear for more simplistic higher production run square or rectangle shaped parts. Edvan has two production shears and cut to length line for gauge projects.
Metal Shear Specifications:
20’ Shear – 1/4” Max Material Thickness
14’ Shear – 1/8” (10 Gage) Max Material Thickness
48” Max Material Width Cut To Length Line
1/8” Max Material Thickness
- Hot Rolled Mild Steel
- High Strength AR
- Galvanized
- Satin Coat
- Anodized
CNC Plasma Cutting
A CNC plasma cutter is a type of computer numerical controlled metal cutting machine with CNC controller that utilizes a plasma torch to cut different metals into different profiles and shapes, including mild steel, stainless steel, carbon steel, galvanized steel, hot rolled steel, cold rolled steel, and aluminium.

CNC Water Jet Cutting – Serving Edmonton & Nisku
A CNC water jet is an industrial tool that uses a high-pressure water jet to cut various materials. It can use water alone to cut soft materials like wood and rubber, or the water can be mixed with an abrasive substance (like garnet or aluminum oxide) to cut harder materials.
Edvan’s CNC water jet cutting machine is primarily used for cutting a wide range of metals. We us a garnet mixture as our abrasive substance. This cold cutting process eliminates slag deformation or dross waste and is an excellent option when your project cannot have a heat signature that is left by traditional plasma or laser cutting.
Edvan has one CNC Water Jet table with the following specifications:
5’ x 8’ Cutting table bed
- Pump 40,000 PSI
