Questions

Laser, plasma and waterjet cutting FAQ

How long should I allow for laser cutting?

Ball Service Group gives an average estimate of 2 to 8 weeks, potentially longer for complex projects. Ask for a date based on your file and material.

Which cutting process should I ask for?

Send the metal, thickness and required edge finish. Ask the shop to compare laser, plasma and waterjet for the part.

How should I prepare the file?

Use closed outlines at full scale and turn text into shapes. Include material, thickness, quantity and any bending or finishing after cutting.

Good to know

  • Treat the published timing as an estimate for laser projects. Ask for a job date before ordering.
  • No Kitchener shop we checked posts prices for this. Send a request to compare quotes.
