Capabilities

Baker Stamping delivers consistency, accuracy, and production efficiency through its broad metal forming capabilities. Founded over a century ago, the company continues to support industrial production across sectors with equipment, staff, and processes aligned with ISO 9001:2015 certification standards. This framework helps maintain high-quality output across every order, whether for short-run projects or long-term contract production.

Manufacturers and engineers across a variety of industries rely on Baker for custom metal stamping solutions that balance speed, repeatability, and many different materials. Our services cover progressive stamping, tubular stamping, multi-slide operations, and several value-added secondary processes, providing customers with a single-source solution from design consultation to delivery.

Metal Stamping

Baker Stamping offers multiple approaches to metal stamping, producing parts used in commercial equipment, vehicles, infrastructure systems, and mechanical assemblies. The company’s stamping operations are built around a series of presses ranging from 35 to 120 tons, giving them flexibility to handle both thin and mid-gauge materials.

Production methods include:

Progressive Die Stamping: Ideal for high-volume jobs involving multiple features and cutting/forming operations in a single pass.
Transfer Die Stamping: Used when parts require movement between stations for more complex geometries.
Continuous Strip Stamping: Often selected for flat parts or components requiring high repeatability.

These processes allow the production of components that would otherwise need to be machined, cast, or injection molded. By reducing material waste and streamlining production steps, customers benefit from lower unit costs and shorter lead times. Typical stamped products include brackets, spacers, clips, motor mounts, terminals, and hardware inserts. Tolerances as close as ±0.005″ can be achieved based on part geometry and material.

Tubular Stamping

One of Baker Stamping’s specialized services is tubular stamping, a technique used to form cylindrical, hollow, or tube-shaped components from strip steel. This eliminates the need for purchasing and cutting pre-formed tubing, lowering production costs and offering greater design freedom.

Tubular stamping enables the integration of multiple part features, such as:

Inside diameter and Outside diameter chamfers
Pierced holes
Serrations
Longitudinal or radial slots
Dimensional reliefs

The result is a part that performs structurally like a tube but with a lower material footprint and fewer steps in the production process. Applications for tubular stamping include garage door hinge tubes, lawn and garden equipment fittings, and automotive suspension components. Parts can be formed up to 6″ long, with diameters approaching 1.75″, and wall thicknesses between 0.021″ and 0.187″.

The company supports a wide range of steel grades, stainless steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. Secondary operations like plating, powder coating, and heat treating are available to meet application-specific performance requirements.

Multi-Slide Stamping

Multi-slide stamping is a high-speed, high-precision method used to create intricate shapes that cannot easily be achieved using conventional press stamping. At Baker Stamping, multi-slide machines rated between 28 and 35 tons are used to produce small, complex components at speeds ranging from 40 to 160 strokes per minute.

This process is ideal for parts such as:

Electrical contacts
Fasteners
Furniture clips
Small brackets
Spring components

Multi-slide equipment accommodates material thicknesses from .015″ to .090”, with stock widths up to 3″ and feed lengths up to 13″. This flexibility allows for production of parts that require multiple bends, curled edges, or formed channels—all without expensive dies or extended setup times. For high-volume production, the cost savings from this process can be significant.

Custom Metal Stamping Solutions

Baker Stamping works closely with engineering teams and procurement specialists to provide custom metal stamping solutions that meet project specifications. By offering early-stage design input, the company helps its clients reduce complexity in manufacturing while improving part performance and durability.

For companies looking to transition parts from machining or casting to metal stamping, Baker provides evaluation and support to streamline the shift. Adjustments to geometry, tolerances, or material types are reviewed to maintain part performance while improving cost-effectiveness. Prototypes are available for form and fit verification before full-scale production begins.

Industries served include:

Garage Door: Hinge tubes, reinforcement brackets, and spacer components designed for both residential and commercial garage door systems.
Lawn and Garden: Mower blade spacers, mounting hardware, and stamped attachments used in both residential and commercial lawn equipment.
Automotive: Brackets, motor mounts, bushings, and other structural components found in chassis, engine, and suspension assemblies.
Office Furniture: Caster sockets, frame supports, and bracketry used in seating, workstations, and filing systems.
Golf and Turf Vehicles: Stamped metal parts for frame construction, suspension systems, and steering mechanisms.
HVAC: Mounting hardware, vibration sleeves, and structural components for heating and cooling units.
Tractor Trailer: Heavy-duty spacers, mounting brackets, and suspension-related components built to withstand high-load conditions.
Marine & More: Corrosion-resistant stamped parts used in marine environments, along with components for lighting, toy, appliance, and industrial equipment.

Baker Stamping adapts its production plan to each industry’s needs while maintaining quality benchmarks throughout the run.

Materials and Finishing

Working with a broad set of metals enables Baker Stamping to support diverse applications. Material selection is aligned with the performance needs of the end-use part, whether it be corrosion resistance, strength, conductivity, or weight control.

Material options include:

Mild steel and high-strength carbon steels
Stainless steel grades (e.g., 304, 316)
Aluminum alloys
Brass and copper
Galvanized and aluminized steel

To support the complete manufacturing process, Baker also secondary services such as:

Heat treating: Used to adjust hardness and tensile strength.
Plating: Zinc, nickel, cadmium for corrosion protection.
Deburring and grinding: For edge smoothness and dimensional control.
Black oxide and powder coating: For wear resistance and appearance.
Galvanizing: Long-term rust prevention.
Assembly and kitting: For customers requiring sub-assemblies or hardware integration.

These services reduce the need for customers to manage additional suppliers or processes, helping shorten lead times and simplify procurement.
