Our Metal Cutting Processes
CNC Laser
Cutting
CNC laser cutting delivers high-speed, high-precision results for intricate 2D metal parts. A focused laser beam cuts sheet materials with clean, accurate edges — ideal for detailed shapes, tight tolerances, and repeatable production runs.
Plasma
Cutting
Plasma cutting uses a high-definition, ionized gas stream to cut most conductive metals into 2D shapes quickly and cleanly. It's a versatile process well suited to a wide range of thicknesses, with fast turnaround times for both custom and production work.
Oxy-Fuel
Cutting
Oxy-fuel cutting is a thermal cutting process that combines oxygen with a fuel gas (acetylene, propane, MAPP, propylene, or natural gas) to cut through metal. It's ideal for thick plate, where it remains one of the most efficient ways to make clean, straight cuts.
Saw
Cutting
Using band saws and chop saws, we cut stock lengths of metal down to size — as single pieces or bundled quantities — delivering job-site-ready material for your project.
Choosing the Right Cutting Process
Every job is different, and the right cutting method depends on your material, thickness, tolerance requirements, and volume. Our team can help you determine whether laser, plasma, oxy-fuel, or saw cutting — or a combination — is the best fit for your project.
- Thin sheet, tight tolerances, intricate shapes: CNC laser cutting
- Fast, versatile cutting across a range of thicknesses: Plasma cutting
