Four steps
From drawing to finished parts
-
Send a drawing
A DXF, DWG, STEP or PDF is best; for simple shapes a sketch or photo will do. Tell us how many, the material and the thickness.
-
We check and price it
We check it can be made as drawn, ask about anything unclear, then send a written quote with a lead time.
-
Cut on the Amada
Your parts are cut on our 6 kW Amada fibre laser, then folded, welded and finished here if you need it.
-
Collected or delivered
Collect from us in Shobdon, or ask us to arrange delivery.

Cutting is only the start
Cut, bent, welded and coated in one building
We'd rather make the whole thing than just cut a profile. Folding, welding and powder coating happen in the same building as the laser, so your job isn't passed from firm to firm.
Folding
Bent on the Amada press brake in our workshop, so brackets, trays and formed panels come back ready to fit.
Welding & fabrication
MIG and TIG welded and put together by the people who build our tables.
Powder coating & finishing
Deburred, prepared and powder coated when you want parts ready to use straight away.
Good to know
Questions we get asked
What do you need from me to give a price?
Is it worth asking about just one part?
Who provides the metal?
Can you do more than cut it?
Is the laser only used for welding tables?
