Before you call

Laser, plasma and waterjet cutting: the short version

Cutting shapes from metal sheet or plate with a laser, a waterjet or a plasma torch.

When you need it

  • Brackets, plates and flat parts
  • Signs, letters and decorative panels
  • Blanks for bending or welding
  • Thick plate a saw can't cut

What to send the shop

  • A DXF or DWG file
  • Material and thickness
  • Quantity
  • Bending or finish after cutting, if needed

Typical lead time

Cut parts from a clean file can be fast. Ask each shop for its date.

Ask the shop

3 questions worth asking

  1. Q1

    Which cutter suits my material and thickness?

  2. Q2

    Do you supply the metal, or should I bring it?

  3. Q3

    Can you bend or finish the parts after cutting?

Questions

Laser, plasma and waterjet cutting FAQ

Laser, waterjet or plasma: which one?

Laser is fast and clean on sheet. Waterjet cuts thick metal, stone and glass without heat. Plasma is a low cost choice for thick steel. Ask the shop which fits your part.

Can one Los Angeles shop cut and bend my parts?

Some do both. American Turnkey Fabricators in Vernon lists fiber laser cutting and CNC press brakes under one roof.

What file should I send?

A DXF or DWG drawn at full size. Send a PDF with sizes too, so the shop can check it.

Good to know

  • Clean files cut faster. Remove notes and extra lines from your drawing.
  • Say if you need the parts deburred. Some shops charge for it.
