Metal Processing FAQ

What is the maximum thickness you can laser cut?

Our 12kW fibre laser can cut carbon steel up to 30mm thick, stainless steel up to 25mm, and aluminium up to 20mm. For thicker materials, we offer plasma cutting up to 150mm. We'll advise on the most suitable process for your material and thickness.

Can you form complex shapes with multiple bends?

Absolutely. Our CNC press brakes are programmed with multi-step bending sequences and can produce complex profiles with multiple angles and tight tolerances. We can also supply tooling for specialist profiles. Send us your drawing for a feasibility review.

Do you offer surface treatment and coating?

Yes, we provide in-house shot blasting to SA 2.5, wet painting, powder coating, and can arrange hot-dip galvanizing through our approved partners. We offer full corrosion protection systems suitable for environments from C1 (interior) to C5 (offshore/industrial).

What lead time can I expect for a processing order?

Lead times depend on volume and complexity. Simple laser cutting jobs can be turned around in 2–3 days, while larger orders involving multiple processes (cut, bend, blast, coat) typically run 1–3 weeks. We always provide a schedule with your quotation.

Do you process customer-supplied material?

Yes, we can process free-issue material. All customer-supplied material is inspected on receipt for condition and compliance before processing begins. We can also source material on your behalf with full mill certification if preferred.
