Precision Tube Cutting, Deburring, End Forming & Bending | Wooley Manufacturing | Flint, MI
Precision Tube Cutting Services
At Wooley Manufacturing, tube cutting isn't just a service—it's our foundation. Our state-of-the-art tube cutting equipment handles materials from 1/8" to 4" diameter with repeatable accuracy and clean, square cuts every time. We work with steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and specialty alloys to meet your exact specifications.
Our precision tube cutting capabilities include:
- High-volume production cutting** for HVAC manufacturers, automotive suppliers, and industrial equipment makers
- Prototype tube cutting** with fast turnaround for R&D and product development
- Tight tolerance cutting** to ±0.010" for applications requiring exact lengths
- Multi-length cutting** for complex assemblies requiring various tube lengths
- Clean, burr-minimized cuts** that reduce secondary operations
Whether you're sourcing tube cutting services for a single test piece or need 100,000 tubes cut to precise lengths monthly, our capacity and flexibility make us the ideal tube cutting supplier. Our location in Flint, Michigan provides quick access to major manufacturing centers throughout the Great Lakes corridor, reducing lead times for time-sensitive projects.
Professional Tube Deburring
Clean edges aren't optional—they're essential. Our tube deburring services ensure your parts are assembly-ready with smooth, safe edges that meet or exceed your quality standards. We understand that burrs can cause assembly problems, create safety hazards, and compromise the integrity of welded or brazed joints.
Wooley Manufacturing's deburring capabilities include:
- Internal deburring** to remove burrs from tube interior surfaces
- External deburring** for clean outer diameter edges
- End deburring** for both tube ends to specified finish requirements
- High-volume deburring** processing thousands of pieces with consistent quality
- Material-specific deburring** techniques optimized for steel, stainless, aluminum, and other alloys
Our deburring processes prepare tubes perfectly for secondary operations like welding, brazing, coating, or final assembly. If you're tired of dealing with tube suppliers who deliver parts with rough edges that slow down your production line, experience the Wooley difference. We deliver deburred tubes that go straight into your assembly process without additional handling.
Tube BendingOur team delivers custom-engineered tubing solutions that meet the highest standards for strength, durability, and fit.
End Forming
Our location in the Great Lakes corridor makes us a strong partner for tube end forming supplier in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana.

CNC MachiningFrom design to final inspection, each step is crucial in ensuring the efficiency and accuracy of the machining process.
Custom Tube End Forming
Tube end forming is where craftsmanship meets engineering precision. Wooley Manufacturing specializes in complex tube end forming operations that transform standard tube ends into functional components. Our end forming capabilities allow us to create flared ends, expanded ends, reduced ends, beaded ends, and custom profiles that eliminate the need for separate fittings or additional components.
Our tube end forming services include:
- Flaring and expanding** for fluid connections and assembly interfaces
- Tube reducing** to create diameter transitions within a single piece
- Beading and swaging** for mechanical locking and sealing applications
- Custom profile forming** to match your unique design requirements
- Multi-step end forming** for complex geometries requiring sequential operations
As a leading tube end forming supplier in Michigan, we serve automotive manufacturers, HVAC producers, hydraulic system builders, and industrial equipment makers who demand precision-formed tube ends. Our end forming expertise means you can consolidate suppliers, reduce assembly costs, and improve product performance with properly formed tube components.
Complete Tube Fabrication Solutions
While tube cutting, deburring, and end forming are our primary specialties, Wooley Manufacturing offers comprehensive tube fabrication services to be your single-source solution.
Tube Bending Services
Our precision tube bending capabilities handle simple to complex bends with accuracy and repeatability. Using modern CNC tube benders and traditional mandrel bending equipment, we produce bent tubes for automotive exhaust systems, hydraulic lines, HVAC coils, roll cages, and custom assemblies.
Tube bending capabilities:
- Radius bending from 1" to 12" centerline radius
- Multi-plane bends for complex routing requirements
- Mandrel bending to prevent tube collapse and maintain flow characteristics
- Rotary draw bending for tight-radius applications
- Production bending with consistent quality across thousands of pieces
CNC Drilling and Machining
When your tube components require precision holes, slots, or machined features, our CNC drilling and machining services deliver exact placement and sizing. We drill mounting holes, create slots for mounting brackets, machine flats for secure connections, and add threaded features—all while maintaining tube integrity.
Metal Tube Shaping and Forming
Beyond end forming, our metal tube shaping capabilities include flattening, notching, piercing, and profile forming. These tube shaping operations allow us to create tubes that fit precisely into your assemblies, eliminating costly hand-fitting during production.
Tube Welding and Brazing
Complete your tube assemblies with our professional welding and brazing services. We perform TIG welding, MIG welding, and brazing operations on tube-to-tube connections, tube-to-fitting assemblies, and custom fabrications. Our certified welders ensure leak-free, strong joints that meet your pressure and durability requirements.
