Key Advantages

Custom Dimensions and Non-Standard Steel Blanks
FlexiTurn provides 1018 cold finished steel flat bars in customized dimensions according to customer drawings, machining requirements, or production specifications. Width, thickness, length, and other special dimensions can be adjusted to reduce machining allowance, minimize material waste, and improve overall processing efficiency.

CNC-Ready Flat Bar for Efficient Machining
Our 1018 steel flat bars are prepared as machining blanks for CNC manufacturers, providing a reliable starting point for milling, drilling, grinding, and other machining processes. By receiving pre-sized steel blanks, customers can shorten raw material preparation time and focus on precision part production.

Excellent Machinability for Precision Components
1018 cold finished steel is known for its excellent machinability, smooth surface finish, and balanced mechanical properties, making it suitable for CNC machining applications requiring stable cutting performance and consistent results. It is commonly used for shafts, brackets, fixtures, tooling components, machine bases, and other industrial parts.

Consistent Quality and Stable Supply
With professional material preparation and manufacturing capabilities, FlexiTurn ensures consistent dimensions and reliable supply for both prototype projects and repeat production orders. Our strict control of blank dimensions and processing quality helps CNC companies maintain stable machining performance and production efficiency.

Factory Direct Pricing and Flexible Customization

Q1. What types of materials can you use for custom blanks?

We work with a wide range of materials, including various metals (carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, superalloys) and plastics. If you have a specific material requirement, just let us know and we'll confirm whether it's available.

Q2. What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom blanks?

We support everything from prototypes to low-volume and high-volume production runs. Whether you need just a few pieces for testing or large batches for mass production, we can accommodate your needs.

Q3. How do I provide my specifications for a custom blank?

You can send us your technical drawings (CAD files preferred), dimension requirements, material grade, and any surface finish or tolerance specifications. Our team will review and confirm the feasibility before production begins.

Q4. What is the typical lead time for a custom blank order?

Lead times depend on the complexity of the part, material availability, and order quantity. We'll provide a clear timeline after reviewing your specifications. For urgent prototype needs, we can discuss expedited options.

Q5. Do you offer design or engineering support if I'm not sure about my blank requirements?

Absolutely. Our engineering team can help you optimize your blank design for manufacturability and cost-efficiency. Feel free to reach out with your initial concept - we're happy to guide you through the process.
