We have over 40 years’ experience in flame cutting steel and even today, it is still an efficient and cost-effective method of profiling steel.
Our accurate in-house programming ensures cost-effective processing and material is finished and treated to customer own individual specifications.
Capabilities
With multi-head cutting machines we can offer excellent cost savings on large production runs even on thick material such as steel up to 270mm thick. Our large cutting beds (22m x 5m), coupled with our multi-head flame profiling machines, make flame cutting the ideal choice for performing high production runs on short lead times.

Flame Process Details
- 3mm kerf – depending on material thickness.
- Cut surface will show a striated structure.
- Edge squareness is fair but will demonstrate non-parallel cut edges with some frequency.
- Edge burring will occur but all parts are cleaned and fettled before dispatch.
- Flame cutting produces a heat affected zone (HAZ) that may need to be removed by additional machining.
