I’ve been in this line of work more than ten years now, working at Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory. From the smell of burnt stainless on a Monday morning laser shift to the headache of repainting a scratched enclosure on Friday evening — I’ve seen the cycle. So when we talk about precision sheet metal […]

I’ve been at Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory for over a decade, so believe me when I say: stainless steel looks easy on a CAD screen, but handling it in reality is a whole different beast. You think you can just throw it on a laser cutter or punch press and it’ll magically bend and […]

I’ve been at Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory for more than ten years now, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned—it’s that “high precision” sounds clean and simple on paper, but on the shop floor it’s anything but. Customers see a neat CAD drawing, a tolerance note ±0.05, maybe a surface finish Ra 1.6 written […]

I’ve been at Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory long enough that stainless steel dust feels like seasoning on my clothes. Bending metal — especially stainless — sounds straightforward if you’ve only read about it in CAD notes. But once you’re standing at the press brake, hand on the pedal, it’s another story. The springback, the […]

Working in sheet metal for over a decade at Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory, I’ve seen every kind of roll bar imaginable. Not the flashy “look-at-me” ones, but the ones that actually keep a person alive when things go sideways on the track or off-road. Let me tell you — making a roll bar isn’t […]

I’ve been at Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory for, what, more than a decade now? Lost count after the tenth Mid-Autumn barbecue we had in the workshop yard. Anyway — if you’ve been in OEM sheet metal assembly only from the CAD screen side, you might think it’s just: cut, bend, weld, paint, ship. Ha. […]

I’ve been bending stainless at Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory for more than ten years. Some days the press brake behaves; other days it acts like it has a sense of humor. That’s normal. Drawings are tidy; stainless isn’t. So here’s the stuff I tell new process engineers — the real-world notes behind CNC sheet […]

Back when I first touched a CNC press brake, I thought bending was the easy part. Cut the sheet, program the angles, step on the pedal — done. Yeah, right. Fast forward a decade at Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory and I’ve seen just about every bracket nightmare you can think of: warped stainless, holes […]

When someone says “metal assembly,” half the time they’re thinking about the shiny finished box. But if you’ve actually put one together — I mean on the floor, not in CAD — you know there’s a dozen ways to get from a flat sheet to a functional enclosure, and each has its little traps.We’ve been […]

Metal Parts Assembly: Why this still trips up buyers (and how to stop tripping) Alright—pull up a chair, pour the tea, and let’s get real. I’ve been elbow-deep in sheet metal for longer than I’ll admit, and one thing’s certain: Metal assembly work — whether it’s sheet metal fabrication or CNC-machined components — is where […]
