Clean edges, tight tolerances, repeatable runs
Our Bystronic fibre laser cuts sheet and plate straight from your files, so the hundredth part matches the first. It's our main machine for brackets, gussets, plates, panels and kit parts.

FAQ
Before you send a job
Not sure if we can cut it? Use the checker above, ask us or call 02 6366 8584.

We'll choose for you. Up to 20 mm mild steel usually goes on the laser for the best edge and accuracy; thicker plate goes on the plasma.
Can you cut stainless and aluminium?
Yes, on the laser, up to 15 mm.
Do you cut galvanised?
Yes, we laser cut galvanised plate. Include the thickness with your files and we’ll confirm on the quote.
Can you fold the parts too?
Yes. Most cut parts can go straight to our CNC press brake. Send a STEP file of the folded part.
How long does it take?
Standard 10 days, rush 3 days. We confirm the lead time on your quote.
