how stainless cuts on fibre.
Stainless steel cuts cleanly on a 3kW fibre source: a kerf from 0.15 mm, tight internal radii and a consistent edge from 0.3 mm sheet up to 12 mm plate. Fine detail holds well even in thin gauges, so slots, tabs and etched profiles come out as drawn.
The narrow kerf lets parts nest close together on the 3 × 1.5 m bed - worth having on a material where the sheet is a large share of the job cost.
what stainless gets specified for.
Stainless steel is commonly specified where hygiene or corrosion resistance is non-negotiable: food and drink equipment, catering fabrication, architectural trim, handrails and balustrade parts, marine fittings and process plant. It is also the usual choice for parts that need to look as good in ten years as they do on day one.

Deburr, fold and powder coat all happen in house, so stainless parts leave ready to fit rather than ready for more work. Material certification and traceability are available on request for structural and OEM jobs.
Free-issue material is welcome - if you already hold the sheet, we will cut it. Send a DXF, DWG or STEP and we quote within one working day; if all you have is a PDF or a sketch, simple profiles can be redrawn, with any redraw time agreed before it is added to the price.
stainless steel, the usual questions.
What thickness of stainless steel can you laser cut?
From 0.3 mm up to 12 mm, on sheet up to 3 × 1.5 m. If your part sits outside that range, ask anyway - we will tell you straight if it is not one for us.
Can you supply the stainless steel?
Yes. We source stainless steel through our network of suppliers, and free-issue material is welcome too - if you already hold the sheet, we will cut that. Tell us the grade and thickness and we take it from there.
What tolerance do you hold on stainless steel?
Plus or minus 0.1 mm as standard, held across the full 3 × 1.5 m bed. If a feature needs tighter, flag it on the drawing and we confirm before cutting.
