I’ve been in this game precision sheet metal, wheel refurbishing, powder coating for more than ten years at Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory. Time goes fast when you’re surrounded by the noise of grinders and the smell of fresh powder bake-off. Folks often ask me, sometimes procurement guys, sometimes even design engineers, “Hey, how long […]

I’ve lost count of how many times people asked me, “Hey, can’t we just paint over this powder coated steel?” They usually ask it with that casual tone, like it’s the same thing as painting your living room wall. I always chuckle not to be rude, but because I know what’s coming. After ten-plus years […]
Introduction: Why Bother Removing Powder Coats from Aluminum Anyway? I’ve been around Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory long enough to see aluminum parts come and go by the truckload, some shining like they should, others coming back like stubborn children. Powder coat is a fine thing when it’s done right, no doubt, but I can’t […]
Introduction: Why This Question Matters You know that moment when you’re about to make an investment whether for your home, business, or industrial project and you wonder, “Is this going to last?” Well, that’s exactly the kind of question many people ask when considering powder coating as a finishing option. Whether you’re coating metal furniture, […]
I’ve been hands-on in sheet metal and precision parts manufacturing for over 15 years — folding, welding, finishing, you name it — here at Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory (yes, that Baoxuan). This time I want to cut through the sales-speak and explain, in practical terms, how to powder coat metal enclosures so your project […]
I’m a senior engineer at Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory, with about 18 years on the shop floor — from setting up punch dies at dawn to debugging a CNC back gauge at midnight. This time I’ll be blunt: press brake forming is deceptively simple on paper, but it can break your schedule (and your […]
I’m an engineer at Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory with, well, more than a dozen years on the shop floor — press brakes, CNC mills, laser cells, powder booths — I’ve run most of them, fixed most of them, and yes, I’ve cursed at tooling that should’ve never been designed that way. This time, let’s […]
I’m a senior engineer at Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory (call me old-school), been on the shop floor for just over a decade — bending, welding, powder coating, assembly, and yes, machining late into the night when a customer’s drawing needs “one more tweak.” I’ve run lathes, set up bar feeders, swapped collets at 2 […]
I’m not going to dress this up. I’ve been bending, welding, fixturing, and cursing over parts at Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory for about 12 years — real hands-on time, not powerpoint hours. We’ve gone from one-off prototypes to packaged production runs for clients that think CAD equals magic. It doesn’t. Tools wear, aluminum moves, […]
Hey — I’m the old hands-in-the-oil type. I’ve been at Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory for over a decade now (11 years on the shop floor, brushing swarf off my arms, arguing with chuck jaws at 3 a.m.). I do bending, turning, welding, powder coating, assembly — the whole mess. This is not marketing fluff. […]
