While leasing costs more than buying overall, you can, for example, spend $3,200/month while the equipment generates $12K/month in revenue, rather than spending $150K today.

This isn't debt on your credit report; it's an operating expense. Plus, you're not using your working capital, which you need for emergencies and opportunities.

After tax savings, your effective rate is 5-6% lower. And you're preserving $X in cash that would cost you more in lost opportunities.

How much revenue will you lose while waiting 18 months? Most customers tell us the equipment paid for itself in 9-12 months.

Key considerations include production volume, material type, budget, and must-have features. Talk to us for personalized advice.

Schedule regular maintenance, train operators thoroughly, and stay up to date on regulations—we can help with all three.

Modern equipment boosts efficiency, lowers downtime, enhances safety, and improves precision—often paying for itself quickly.

Evaluate cost savings, productivity gains, and maintenance reductions over time. Our team can prepare a detailed ROI analysis for you.

Industry 4.0, automation, and sustainable manufacturing practices are driving change. Ferric Machinery stays ahead so you can too.

Typically, operators are provided with a drawing showing the flat part length. After importing or drawing on the control, the machine uses a different calculation for this flat length, primarily based on the punch radius and die opening. The best thing to do to ensure accuracy is to make sure these calculated flat lengths match within +/- .010”. This can be achieved in a variety of ways, the most important of which is the part's INTERNAL RAD.

Ferric Machinery’s maintenance services can help avoid potential issues and quickly solve them when they arise to avoid machine breakdowns and extend lifespans.

Yes, we stock blades and other Kingsland parts.

Ferric Machinery offers JQ LASER tube lasers in 2-chuck, 3-chuck, and 4-chuck sizes with a variety of customizations and automation features to fit your needs.

Coil-fed lasers skillfully handle tasks such as die-cutting, stamping, and engraving with unparalleled accuracy.

The maximum cutting thickness for a 6kW fiber laser cutter is 25mm for carbon steel, 20mm for stainless steel, 16mm for aluminum, and for 12mm brass.

Plasma cutters are typically used in industries including automotive repair, industrial construction, and fabrication shops, among others, for a broad spectrum of applications ranging from heavy-duty industrial use to light-weight crafting and scrapping purposes.

No, we don’t supply bandsaw blades, but we would be happy to point you in the right direction.

Yes, we stock Ermaksan and Haco blades. We can also make custom blades if you send a detailed drawing.

Ferric Machinery offers a comprehensive selection of top-quality JORG cut-to-length lines. We also work with suppliers to make custom cut-to-length lines for thicker material with one machine provided cutting up to .500 MS steel coils.

By using beam-drilling lines, operators can accomplish tasks faster, reduce errors, and streamline workflow by combining multiple processes into one. These machines have largely been replaced by tube laser cutting, but a beam drill line can remain competitive if it also offers tapping.

Ferric Machinery offers new and used hydraulic, hybrid, and servo-electric press brakes.

A 3-roll plate roll is best for shops doing simple cylindrical work where budget and ease of use matter more than precision, while a 4-roll plate roll is the better choice for heavy fabrication, tight tolerances, and jobs requiring accurate pre-bending with minimal flat ends. In general, choose a 3-roll for lighter, less critical work and a 4-roll for thicker material, repeat production, and higher accuracy.

Industries such as construction, automotive, aerospace, and many more rely heavily on profile rolling machines for their operations.

Tube bending equipment is most commonly used for reshaping pipes and tubes into desired angles, from simple bending tasks to intricate geometrical tubular structures such as railings.

Servo-controlled back gauge, manual crowning adjustment, user-friendly control, large opening height, and machine capacity capable of forming your parts.

Metal deburring is the removal of jagged edges and protrusions from metal parts, enhancing surface quality and consistency. Metal finishing then further refines these deburred pieces. This enhances durability, corrosion resistance, and the metal's aesthetic appeal.

Shot blasting is a surface finishing method that involves forcibly propelling a stream of abrasive material against a surface under high pressure to smooth a rough surface, roughen a smooth surface, shape a surface, or remove surface contaminants for applications including descaling, derusting, and deburring, paint preparation, and cosmetic finishing.
