By FormNCut | 9 min read A laser tube cutting machine is usually faster per finished part and more accurate than traditional pipe cutting, because it cuts length, holes, slots and end profiles in one clamping. A bandsaw or cold saw can still be faster for plain cut-to-length work on…

By FormNCut | 9 min read A fiber laser cutting machine works by generating a laser beam inside a doped optical fiber, carrying it through a flexible fiber cable to a cutting head, and focusing it to a tiny spot that melts the metal. A jet of assist gas blows…

By FormNCut | 9 min read Yes, but only in a very thin layer. A steel laser cutting machine melts and rapidly cools a fraction of a millimetre at the cut face, which can leave a harder recast layer and, with oxygen cutting, an oxide skin. Just behind that, the…
