Questions

Plasma cutting FAQ

Who has a CNC plasma table in Los Angeles?

Several shops do. J & R Steel & Welding in Tarzana and MWW Manufacturing in Canoga Park list CNC plasma cutting.

Can a shop cut on my site?

Some can. Hollywood Welding offers mobile welding and plasma cutting.

Plasma, laser or flame?

Plasma is a low cost choice for steel plate. Laser is finer on thin sheet. Superior Pipe Fabricators uses plasma, abrasive and flame cutting.

Good to know

  • Plasma leaves a rougher edge than laser. Ask about clean up.
  • Send the thickness. It decides the machine and the price.
