We make sure to perform checks at every stage of production to guarantee the final quality of the part.

We use a standard 1mm (0.039in) bend radius on parts under 0.187" thick and 4mm (0.15") for parts 0.187" and thicker.

Angle tolerance of +/- 1 deg and a length tolerance of +/-.015 inches. Compound bends will have a larger tolerance of +/- .020 inches.

Our bending capabilities cover a range of sheet metal thicknesses. For specific thickness limits, please refer to our bending resources or contact our team for guidance.

All parts are configured with deburring by default. However if you would like to opt out of deburring, you can do so in the quoting process. This will reduce the lead time of your parts.

Parts with countersinks typically have 1 extra day added to the lead time. They shipping date provided during checkout is accurate and includes all extra services.

We can perform countersinking on most thicknesses of metals.

We offer a range of countersinking options, including different angles and diameters, to suit various hardware and design requirements.

STEP file are the best file format to upload.

Laser cut parts typically have tolerances ranging from +/- 0.002 inches to +/- 0.005 inches, with tighter tolerances for smaller features and slightly wider tolerances for larger parts due to heat distortion during the cutting process.

Absolutely! At Fabworks, we provide deburring and finishing services at no additional cost to our customers. This process is an integral part of our commitment to delivering high-quality, precision-cut parts.

Yes, there will be small score lines along the outer surface of your bent sheet metal parts.

Parts with hardware typically have 1 extra day added to the lead time. They shipping date provided during checkout is accurate and includes all extra services.

We only ship to the US and Canada.

Material thickness tolerance is a crucial aspect of sheet metal fabrication that affects the quality, functionality, and consistency of the final product.

48" x 120" is the standard sheet size we stock, but we can cut sheets as large as 60" x 120" on our laser cutter.
