I’m a senior engineer at Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory. Been bending, welding, powder-coating, and arguing over fixtures for more than a decade — so yeah, this is not marketing copy. This is tea-break truth. If you want the short version: precision laser processing gives you predictable tolerances, small kerf loss, and repeatable edge quality […]

I’m Li (call me Li-gang on the shop floor), senior engineer at Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory — been bending, welding, powder coating, and arguing with CAD files for twelve years. I’ve stuck copper-tip thermocouples on nests at 3 a.m., cranked CNC offsets until my fingers cramped, and watched a whole press line choke on […]

Been at Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory for twelve years now — bending, welding, powder coating, late-night running orders when the delivery truck says “in two days” and the client says “we needed it yesterday.” I’m the kind of engineer who measures by feel as much as by calipers. This piece is exactly that: straight […]

I’ve been hanging around Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory for more than a decade now. Stainless steel, aluminum, copper—you name it, I’ve bent, cut, welded, or cursed at it. Sometimes I think the machines know me better than my family. And let me tell you: when it comes to stainless steel custom metal fabrication, people […]

I’ve been in this game over ten years now, at Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory. Sometimes I still smell burnt stainless steel in my dreams. That’s how deep the laser cutting fumes get into your head. Anyway, the boss asked me to share some of the pitfalls and little tricks I’ve learned about custom laser […]

I’ll be honest — when they first told me, “Old Zhang, write something for the factory blog,” my first reaction was: me? Writing? I’ve been bending, welding, grinding, cursing at stuck bolts for more than ten years, not writing essays. But maybe that’s exactly why I should. Because many folks reading CAD drawings in an […]

I’ll start straight. You know how many times I’ve been asked by some procurement folks: “Hey, is a sheet metal cover the best choice, or should we just go CNC or plastic injection?” Too many times. And sometimes I just want to say, “Depends, mate—depends on your budget, timeline, and whether you’re going to kick […]

I’ll start plain. Some folks say “steel is steel, it’s all the same once it’s polished.” That’s nonsense. After over ten years working in Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory, I’ve bent, welded, polished, cursed at, and re-done more stainless panels than I care to count. And let me tell you—mirrored stainless steel is not just […]

I’ll just say it straight, no warm-up speech: custom metal brackets look simple on the CAD screen, but once you’re in the workshop bending and welding the things, you quickly find out that “simple” can eat a whole day’s profit if you’re not careful. Been there, many times. In Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory, we’ve […]

Funny thing — last month a young buyer came to our factory, Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory, with drawings for a set of replacement sheet metal for vehicles. Beautiful CAD, looked perfect on screen. But when we showed him the trial samples, his first reaction was: “Why does this radius look a bit different than […]
