Questions

Laser, plasma and waterjet cutting FAQ

Which cutting process should I ask for?

Send the metal, thickness and edge requirements. Ask the shop to quote laser, plasma or waterjet for the work.

What belongs in the file?

Use full scale outlines and state the units. Mark holes, cutouts and dimensions that matter. Ask whether deburring is included.

Do I need to supply the metal?

Ask the shop. Say the metal, thickness and quantity, and whether you will bring it. Check that the quote shows material and cutting on separate lines.

Good to know

  • Send full scale files with closed outlines. Mark the edges and holes that matter.
  • No Richmond shop we checked posts prices for this. Send a request to compare quotes.
