Laser Cutting

Two CNC lasers, sheet and plate, cutting five days a week.

Laser Cutting at Edwards Equipment, Birmingham, Alabama
SECTION 01 / OVERVIEW

The shop floor, in detail.

Two CNC laser cutting machines run the front of our shop. Send a flat pattern and we cut it — mild steel, stainless, aluminum — from a single prototype blank to a standing weekly release. Running two machines means a down spindle doesn't stop your job, and a rush part doesn't wait behind a production run.

  • Capabilities Standard / On request
  • 01 Mild steel to 0.625" · stainless to 0.500" · aluminum to 0.375"
  • 02 Two machines — redundancy on breakdowns, shorter queues on rush work
  • 03 DXF, DWG, STEP and IGES accepted; PDF traced on request
  • 04 Common-line nesting to hold down material cost
  • 05 Deburr and edge-break as a secondary operation
  • 06 Cut-only orders welcome — you don't have to buy the whole build
