Stainless steel tubing is normally supplied in metre lengths. However, CNW prides itself on its skill in the cutting of Stainless Steel Tubes to any length working to extremely fine tolerances to meet customer needs.

Through the process of heating cold steel, the steel is made more malleable. This enables stainless steel to be more easily bent and shaped to requirements.

Tubing can be bent or manipulated to unique profiles. Through many years of experience the team at CNW are able to discuss individual customer requirements and satisfy specific customer needs.

Where individual customers require it, tubing can be supplied with a ‘bevelled’ end cut at an angle, rather than square cut. Individual requirements can be discussed with the team at CNW to ensure complete satisfaction.

Bull nosed tubing with a completely rounded and sealed end, can be supplied for an extensive range of uses, from medical to engineering applications. 100% inspection and testing is available for bull nosed tubing products.

Stainless Tubes can be supplied in coiled lengths where required, up to 100 metres long. Additionally, tubing can be manipulated into small coils in a wide variety of sizes and for a multitude of purposes.

Where required cut to length tubing can be supplied with ends that have been deburred. This is the removal of minute subtle ridges which may arise during the cutting process, which for specific applications customers may prefer to have removed.

Specialists in the manipulation of fine stainless steel tubing CNW can accurately drill stainless steel tubes to meet exact customer requirements to extremely fine tolerances.

For certain applications a tube with a splayed end may be required. CNW has been successfully supplying tubing with flared ends for many years, produced to the individual requirements of its customers.

The increasing sophistication in the use and application of stainless steel tubing demands increasingly complex products. Stainless Tubes with ‘slots’ cut into it can be supplied, produced to the exact requirements of the customer.

CNW can supply cut to length tubing which has been produced to a profile which is unique to that customer. Swaged tubing may be used in a diverse range of applications, engineering and medical, where accuracy is critical, CNW can meet these customer demands.

Soldering in regard to tubes is used to join metal tubing components, creating strong, leak-proof connections. This process is common in plumbing, HVAC systems, and other applications where reliable fluid transport is essential.

Hypodermic needles are used for precise fluid injection, extraction, and handling in processes like manufacturing, testing, medical and research.

Metal and plastic luers for tubes and needles provide a secure connection point, ensuring stability and precision in fluid transfer including injection and withdrawal. Luers can be reinforced with glues and soldering for stronger connection.

Centreless grinding is a machining method used to shape cylindrical parts efficiently. This method allows for high precision and is ideal for achieving custom smooth finishes and consistent dimensions on long, cylindrical tube sections, while maintaining the original inside dimension.

Conical pointing is used to create a tapered end on a workpiece, enhancing its functionality for specific applications, such as improving fit, reducing friction, or facilitating insertion into another component. It also aids in alignment and precision during assembly.

EDM spark eroding, or electrical discharge machining, is used to precisely remove material from hard metals by creating controlled sparks between an electrode and the workpiece. This process is ideal for creating intricate shapes, complex cavities, and fine details that are difficult to achieve with traditional machining methods.
