PLASMA CUTTING

Plasma cutting is the most economical option in cutting metals up to 3/4" thick. 

Materials

We stock 1/8" and 1/4" mild steel (hot rolled or cold rolled). Please inquire for all other materials.

The following materials are suitable for plasma cutting:

  • Mild Steel
    • Pierce up to 5/8"
    • Edge start up to 1"
  • Aluminum
  • Stainless Steel
  • Brass

 

Material Size

Our plasma table working envelope is 4' x 4'. Through indexing it is possible to cut outside the envelope.

Input Requirements

Most vector formats are compatible with either process (SVG, EPS, AI, Corel, DXF). Faces can also be picked from 3D models. We can also create the necessary files based on your sketch/drawing.

The plasma kerf (thickness of cut) may vary from 0.065" to 0.1". This is the largest kerf of all processes. As a result, fine features may not turn out as expected. 

The controller will attempt to compensate for the kerf so the input vector file should specify the actual part size.
