Precision CNC Metal Punching

Nova Metals turret-punches precision profiles in steel, stainless, and aluminum for manufacturers across the Chicago area — held to ±0.005″ across both prototype and production runs. For hole-heavy or repeat-feature parts, turret punching often beats laser or plasma cutting on both cost and cycle time.

Tight tolerances, clean edges

Every part starts from your drawing or CAD file and is punched to spec with repeatable accuracy on our CNC turret press. Clean, burr-conscious edges mean parts move straight into forming, welding, and assembly without rework — and arrive ready for your line.

Materials we punch

  • Carbon and mild steel
  • Stainless steel
  • Aluminum
  • Coated and pre-finished sheet

From one-off prototypes to full production

Because punching, forming, and welding all happen under one roof, the same team, tooling, and tolerances carry a part from first article to full-scale production — no re-sourcing, no drift between the prototype you approved and the parts you receive.
