Acutech is Montana's most technologically advanced metalworking facility for structural steel, high tolerance machining, and precision cutting.

"I’m very disappointed with Acutech. I visited Acutech to inquire about a kitchen countertop support. I was going with a simple 1/4” steel plate 20” x 60”. I was given a quote for $350 with the explanation that the new tariffs just caused the prices to double. That sounded high but I felt they were being honest so I placed the order. The order was ready within a week. I installed the plate. A couple of weeks later I checked in to the price of that same piece of steel from a competitor to Acutech. I found that the steel was a available for $98. I feel that Acutech took advantage of my trust. It is ultimately my responsibility to have searched out multiple quotes for my project but I never dreamed someone would charge 3-1/2 times the price of this steel plate. I went back to Acutech and told them of my disappointment and all they could say is “I’m sorry you feel that way “. I would not recommend doing business with Acutech. If you do, definitely, get additional quotes. I’m not sure how a company can stay in business with such questionable business practices."

Metal Fabrication and Restoration questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can use a saw to cut metal pipes. The best saw to use is a reciprocating saw, but even a fine-tooth hacksaw can get the job done. No matter which saw you use to cut metal pipes, wear protective gear, like work gloves, safety goggles, and ear plugs. Apply a firm, steady pressure to the tool, and always ensure the pipes are secured so they don't move while you make the cuts.

Professional metal fabricators usually charge around $70 per hour. Three of the largest cost factors are the size and complexity of the project and the price of materials. The type of metal can impact the cost as much as the intricacy of the metal fabrication you want done. Another cost factor is your geographic location, as labor and materials can vary widely depending on the cost of living where you live.

Whether or not it’s cheaper to build a pizza oven depends largely on what style you opt for and which tools and materials you already have. For example, having a surplus of leftover fire bricks from another DIY project will reduce the amount you need to build a new pizza oven and cut costs to boot. On the flip side, if you don’t have any of the required materials, buying a pre-made option will be cheaper and require far less work to set up—between just $300 and $1,000 for the best versions.

Welding is the process of using extreme heat—and, sometimes, pressure—to attach two pieces of metal. In contrast, metal fabrication is a more involved process that can include welding, sheet metal work, bending, and other forms of metal manipulation. Metal fabrication is a large-scale project that may or may not involve welding, while welding is more often a step in larger fabrication projects.

To restore an appliance’s shine, clean the surfaces using a natural cleaning solution, and then use a mineral oil or olive oil and a soft microfiber rag to polish stainless steel surfaces in the direction of the graining. A little goes a long way, so dip the cloth in a small amount of oil. If you have any excess, continue with a dry part of the microfiber cloth to soak up any remnants.
