Precision Sawing
High-capacity sawing services for materials up to 16 inches in outer diameter. Ideal for preparing billets, bars, and forged stock to exact length specifications before downstream processing or shipment.
From precision sawing of large-diameter billets to electric eye contour burning and near-net-shape rough machining, MTS Forge delivers custom metal profile shearing and cutting solutions engineered for the tightest tolerances. Whether your application demands aerospace-grade accuracy or heavy industrial capacity, our in-house capabilities eliminate vendor handoffs and keep your supply chain moving with confidence.
Comprehensive in-house cutting solutions handling large diameters, complex contours, and tight dimensional requirements across a full range of metals.
High-capacity sawing services for materials up to 16 inches in outer diameter. Ideal for preparing billets, bars, and forged stock to exact length specifications before downstream processing or shipment.
Electric eye contour burning for materials up to 8 inches thick. This process accurately traces and cuts complex profiles and irregular shapes, minimizing material waste and reducing the need for secondary machining.
In-house rough machining removes excess material from as-forged or as-cut parts to bring components to near-net shape, reducing customer lead times and eliminating the cost and risk of outsourcing to a separate machining vendor.
Our metallurgically trained team reviews your drawings, material specifications, and dimensional tolerances. We identify the optimal cutting method—sawing, burning, or rough machining—to minimize material waste and meet your exact requirements from the outset.

Co-Founder
Stephen Carr co-founded Manufacturing & Technical Services, Inc. in 1986 alongside Edward Waddell, building MTS Forge from the ground up on twin principles of quality and service. Stephen brings a comprehensive metallurgical background to every project, giving him an authoritative command of material science, alloy behavior, and forging process optimization. His deep knowledge of forging practices has been instrumental in guiding MTS Forge's expansion into precision cutting and shearing capabilities, including sawing, contour burning, and rough machining. Over nearly four decades, Stephen has helped position MTS Forge as a recognized leader in custom forging and cutting solutions for aerospace, defense, commercial nuclear, and power generation sectors across the United States.
Co-Founder
Edward Waddell co-founded MTS Forge in 1986 with Stephen Carr, channeling his metallurgical expertise and passion for precision manufacturing into building one of America's respected forging and metal cutting operations. Edward's extensive knowledge of forging practices spans a wide range of alloy steels, stainless steels, and high-performance materials, which directly informs the cutting and shearing standards MTS Forge upholds today. His leadership has driven the company's investment in state-of-the-art equipment—including large-capacity sawing and electric eye contour burning systems—ensuring that customers in aerospace, defense, power generation, and commercial nuclear sectors receive components cut to exact specification with full quality traceability.
MTS Forge cuts and shears a broad range of metals including alloy steels, stainless steels, and high-performance alloys such as Monel K-500 and Ferralium 255 (duplex stainless steel). Our sawing and burning equipment is suited to handle both standard carbon grades and specialty materials required by aerospace, defense, and nuclear applications.
