What is the standard lead-time for laser cut parts?

Laser cut parts are typically shipped within 1-2 business days. Adding additional services to your parts such as bending, powder coating, or hole operations will increase your lead time.

What is the tolerance of laser cut parts?

Most standard size parts are cut with an overall tolerance of +/- 0.005 inches. Most simple features such as holes and slots are often as tight as +/- 0.002 inches. Larger features or features over 30 inches apart will see an increased tolerance of +/- 0.010 inches, due to heat distortion of the fiber laser cutting process.

What is the edge quality like on laser cut parts?

Thinner parts (less than .125 inches) will have a very smooth and consistent edge quality. Thicker parts will have a slightly rougher edge quality due to the increased power required to laser cut the materials. The edge quality of laser cut parts is often better than parts cut with a plasma cutter or waterjet.

Will my laser cut parts come with burrs or tabs?

On all parts you can opt in or out of deburring. We use a combination of machines and hand tools to remove burrs and tabs from your parts. Our team is dedicated to shipping you the highest quality parts possible.

Can I remove deburring and have my parts ship faster?

Yes we do have the option to remove deburring from your parts. This will speed up the lead time of your parts, and reduce cost slightly. However, not deburring parts can leave sharp edges that may be undesirable for your application.

Do you ship outside of the US?

We ship all regions of Canada and the US.
