How we do it

The laser is where most jobs start, and it is the quickest thing we do. A clean DXF sent before ten in the morning is usually nested, programmed and cut the same week, and parts ship five working days after you approve the price.

We run a 6 kW fibre source on a 3,000 × 1,500 mm bed with an automatic sheet changer, so the machine keeps cutting through the night shift. Nitrogen assist on stainless and aluminium leaves a bright, oxide-free edge that powder coats and welds without extra prep.

Every part is deburred and marked with your part number before it leaves the bay. If you need a finished component rather than a flat blank, the press brake, the welding bays and the powder line are twenty metres away.

Included as standard

  • Nesting and programming, free on repeat parts
  • Deburred edges on every part
  • Parts marked with your part number
  • Offcuts returned on request

Questions about laser cutting

Can you cut from my own material?

Yes, if it arrives flat, clean and with its mill certificate. Free-issue material is cut at the machine rate only.

What is the smallest hole you can cut?

Roughly the material thickness, down to 1 mm. Smaller than that, we drill after cutting.
