Heavy base plates, lifting lugs, flanges and equipment parts are cut most economically with CNC plasma and oxy-fuel. Thick plate comes off clean enough to reduce secondary grinding before welding.
Need holes held to a tight tolerance? We can combine thermal cutting with drilling or laser cutting to hit the dimensions that matter.
Laser, plasma or oxy-fuel?
Choosing the right thermal process controls cost and quality:
- Fiber laser: best precision and smallest features on sheet through medium plate.
- Plasma: fast and economical on medium-to-thick plate with good edge quality.
- Oxy-fuel: the go-to for very thick carbon steel plate and heavy structural parts.
Common applications
- Column base plates
- Flanges & rings
- Lifting lugs & padeyes
- Heavy gussets
- Equipment wear parts
- Blanks for plate rolling
Plasma & Oxy-Fuel Cutting FAQ
How thick can you cut?
Oxy-fuel cutting handles very thick carbon steel plate, well beyond the range of laser and plasma. Send your drawing with thickness and grade and we will confirm the best process.
Can you cut weld bevels?
Yes. Bevel edges for weld preparation can be specified on your drawing.
