Maximum Part Size

The largest parts we cut, bend, weld, coat, and ship, and how to get a part that is too big to ship.

These are the size and weight limits our quoting tool checks when you upload a part. A part past a cutting or bending limit shows an error on the quote. A part we can make but can't ship is quoted for local pickup.

Laser Cutting: Sheet

  • Largest flat part: 117" x 47". Our TRUMPF TruLaser beds are 3000 x 1500 mm, and we stock 48" x 120" sheet.
  • Smallest part: 0.25" x 0.25".

The limit applies to the flat part. A bent part is checked by its flat pattern. See the sheet laser cutting guidelines.

Laser Cutting: Tube

  • Longest part: 176".
  • Tube size: 0.472" to 6.72" outside diameter, up to 13.4 lbs/ft of stock.

See the tube laser cutting guidelines.

Bending

  • Longest bend line: set by the material and thickness, up to the 117" flat limit. Thin stock bends up to 117" long; thicker stock is limited by press force and tooling. The material table lists the maximum bend length for each material and thickness.
  • Heaviest bent part: 80 lbs.

Long bends run on our TRUMPF TruBend 5130, which has a 3230 mm (127") bed. Our TruBend 7050 has a 1530 mm (60") bed and takes shorter bends. See the bending guidelines.

Welding

Welded parts are bent parts first, so the bending limits apply, up to 0.250" thick. A welded part bigger than our shipping limit is quoted for local pickup. See the welding guidelines.

Hardware, Tapping, and Countersinking

Parts over 80 lbs can't have hardware inserted, holes tapped, or holes countersunk. See the hardware guidelines.

Deburring

Parts over 100 lbs can't be deburred. Choose No Deburring for them.

Powder Coating

The quoting tool has no size limit for powder coating beyond the cutting limits above. For very large parts, contact us before you order. See the powder coating guidelines.

Shipping

  • Sheet, bent, and welded parts: ship up to 95" x 47" x 47".
  • Tubes: ship up to 97" long.

We compare each side of the part, longest first, with those limits. A part also has to fit one of our boxes or pallets.

Too Big to Ship

A part we can make but can't ship can still be quoted and ordered with local pickup. The quote and checkout tick Local Pickup for you and list the parts that can't ship. Pick up your order at our shop, 2932 Golf Course Drive, Ventura, CA 93003. We load large parts with a forklift, so bring a vehicle or trailer they fit in.

If you need a large part shipped, use Contact us on the quote or email support@fabworks.com and we'll work out freight. See shipping.
