On-Site Threaded Rod Cutting Service

Offer a mobile, chip- and spark-free cutting service for electricians, plumbers, HVAC, and fire-sprinkler installers in occupied buildings. Cut 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" rods to spec right at the lift, avoiding hot-work permits and grinding dust. Bill per cut or per mobilization; deliver labeled bundles by area or elevation.


Precut Hanger Kit Fulfillment

Partner with MEP contractors to turn hanger schedules into precut, labeled rod kits with nuts/washers included. Use the rotatable die to switch sizes fast and produce burr-free ends that thread instantly on-site. Package per zone or floor, attach takeoff labels, and upsell stainless kits for corrosive environments.


Acoustic Cloud and Fixture Suspension

Provide measurement, cutting, and installation of threaded-rod suspensions for acoustic panels, light fixtures, and signage in retail and office spaces. Chip-free cuts protect finished interiors, and the LED work light helps accuracy in dim ceilings. Offer rapid turns with on-site adjustments up to 350 cuts per charge.


Custom Architectural Garden Kits

Design and sell stainless trellis, green-wall, and plant-training kits made from precut threaded rod, spacers, and mounting plates. Market to restaurants, wineries, and homeowners. Burr-free ends enhance customer experience during assembly; offer standard sizes and bespoke layouts.


Trade Show and Pop-Up Display Frames

Fabricate modular display frames and shelving for pop-ups using 3/8" and 1/2" threaded rod. Provide rental or purchase options with on-site cut-to-fit adjustments. Burr-free cuts speed reconfiguration between events, and labeled rods keep assemblies fast and repeatable.

Creative

Industrial Compression Shelving

Build modular shelves using 3/8" or 1/2" threaded rod as verticals that clamp wooden or metal shelves in place with nuts and washers. The cutter’s burr-free ends let nuts spin on smoothly, and chip-free cutting keeps finish materials clean. Make adjustable bookcases, vinyl storage, or pantry units; use stainless rods for kitchens or damp areas.


Adjustable Workshop Clamps and Jigs

Cut 1/4" and 3/8" rods to make bar clamps, panel cauls, and router-table hold-downs that tighten with wing nuts or knob nuts. The precise, burr-free ends prevent thread damage and make fast adjustments. Add coupling nuts as sliding stops, and use the LED light to see cut marks on darker rods.


Kinetic Sculptures and Mobiles

Create balanced, moving sculptures using threaded rods as arms and counterweights. Burr-free cuts protect bearings and bushings, while the four-sided die lets you switch sizes for different structural elements. Stainless rod holds up outdoors for garden art and wind-driven pieces.


Industrial Pendant and Sconce Frames

Fabricate lighting frames where the threaded rod is a visible, structural design element. Cut rods to exact standoff lengths for canopies, cages, and shade supports. Burr-free ends seat cleanly in couplers and escutcheons, and stainless options work well for damp-rated fixtures when paired with appropriate hardware.


Garden Trellis and Espalier Grid

Assemble robust trellises using stainless threaded rod, coupling nuts, and stand-off spacers to create a clean grid for vines or espaliered fruit trees. Chip-free, spark-free cutting is ideal for on-site trimming near plants and mulch, and burr-free ends make assembly smooth and safe.
