PRECISION CUT & WELD

Cut & Weld Services

Precision Cutting and Pressure-Rated Welding for Hydraulic Tube, Pipe, and Steel Components, All Done In-House.

HSC’s Cut & Weld services cover precision cutting of hydraulic tube, pipe, and structural steel, plus welding and brazing on carbon steel, stainless, and aluminum. Cut, weld, prep, and inspect under one roof — backed by our Engineering Center since 1947.

Tubes cut to length, deburred, and end-prepped — next operation starts from a true reference surface.

Welds sized to the pressure, fatigue loading, and fluid the part will see — not just to fill the gap.

Welding and brazing in carbon steel, stainless, and aluminum — on reservoirs, brackets, port bosses, and mounts.

Backed by the HSC Engineering Center, led by a Certified Fluid Power Engineer (CFPE).

CUT & WELD SCOPE

What’s Included in Cut & Weld Services

Cut and weld turns stock material or an existing component into the part the application needs — from a single cut and fitting prep to a multi-pass weld on a reservoir bung, a port boss repair, or a structural modification to a cylinder mount.

Common work includes:

Tube and pipe cutting to length with square ends, deburred bores, and clean surfaces ready for the next operation

Port boss and fitting welds on manifolds, headers, and custom plumbing where threads aren’t the right answer

Cylinder modifications and repairs — port relocations, mounting changes, clevis and trunnion work, and barrel repairs

Bracket and mount fabrication for pumps, motors, valves, and accessories that attach in ways the catalog mount won’t

Brazing for joints where braze is the right choice over weld, including specific tube fittings

Coordinated builds with our hose, tube bending, and fabrication groups — combining cut, welded, and bent components

One Team, One Roof

Cutting, welding, brazing, and surface prep happen in one facility — no coordinating between vendors or phone-scheduling across shops.

Engineered for the Duty

Material, filler, and joint design are selected for the pressure, fatigue loading, and fluid the part will see. The weld is sized to the duty, not just to fill the gap.

QUALITY MATTERS

Cut and Weld Quality Decides the Rest of the Build

A tube cut at a slight angle never seats squarely in its flare. A weld run too hot warps the part it was supposed to repair. A bung welded with the wrong filler cracks the first time the reservoir flexes. None look dramatic — which is why they take so long to find.

Customers turn to professionally executed cut and weld work when they need:

True reference surfaces so fittings seat the first time and tubes mate without forcing the joint
Welds rated for the pressure and fluid, with material, filler, and joint design selected for the duty
Modifications that don’t weaken the part — port relocations, mount changes, structural additions
Repairs to high-value components so a sound cylinder, manifold, or reservoir isn’t scrapped over one fitting or weld
One source of accountability, not cutting at one vendor and welding at another

WHERE IT PAYS OFF

Clean Cuts and Sound Welds

After two decades of building and troubleshooting hydraulic systems, the pattern holds: clean cuts and sound welds decide whether the next assembly comes together easily or fights the technician for an hour.

Reservoir & Manifold Modifications

When a stock tank or block needs ports, bosses, or mounts the catalog version doesn’t have. Welded in-house with material, filler, and joint design selected for the duty.

Cylinder Repairs & Port Relocations

A sound cylinder body returned to service instead of replaced — port relocations, mounting changes, clevis and trunnion work, barrel repairs.

Tube & Pipe Prep

For hose assemblies, tube bending, and hard-plumbed lines needing square, clean ends — cut, deburred, and end-prepped to a true reference surface.

Custom Brackets & Mounts

For pumps, motors, and valves where standard mounting won’t fit — fabricated to the equipment, not bent to the catalog.

Retrofits & Adaptations

When an older machine needs new components welded into its existing structure — modern hardware integrated without weakening the part.

OEM & Production Support

Repeatable cut and weld across units, with documented setups so the hundredth assembly comes off the floor the same as the first.

The goal is the same: a part ready for the next step, with cut, weld, and surface prep correct before anything is bolted on.

Cut & Weld FAQs

What materials does Hydraulic Supply Company cut and weld?

Carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum — the materials used in hydraulic and industrial fluid power systems. Brazing is also available where it’s the right choice over a weld.

Can you weld on hydraulic reservoirs, manifolds, and cylinders?

Yes. Common work includes relocating ports and bungs on reservoirs, welding bosses on manifolds and headers, and modifying cylinder mounts, clevises, and barrels where the base component is sound.

Are welds on hydraulic components pressure-rated?

Welds are made with the operating pressure, fatigue loading, and fluid in mind. Material, filler, and joint design are selected for the duty — not just to close the gap.

Can you modify or repair an existing component instead of building new?

Often, yes. Port relocations, mount changes, bracket additions, and selected cylinder repairs are routine. We’ll also tell you when a new part is the better long-term answer.

Do you cut tube and pipe to length for hose, tube bending, or hard-plumbed runs?

Yes. We cut to length, deburr, and end-prep so the next operation starts from a true reference surface. Coordinated with our hose, tube bending, and fabrication groups.

Can your engineers help if we do not have a finished drawing?

Yes. The HSC Engineering Center can define material, joint design, and weld spec from a sketch, sample part, or application description.

Can cut and weld work be combined with other HSC services?

Yes. Cut and weld coordinates with hose assembly, tube bending, custom fabrication, and HPU builds — assemblies combining cut, welded, and bent components are managed by one team.
