9 Sheet Metal Cutting Problems and Solutions
Ask any metal shop foreman, and they’ll tell you, cutting is where problems start if your setup isn’t dialed in. Burn marks, warped sheets, rough edges, and mismatched dimensions don’t just mess up the part, they snowball into delays, rework, and scrap loss. Whether you’re using a high-powered sheet metal cutting machine, a CNC system for metal cutting, or precision laser cutting, one small parameter off can mean the difference between a clean cut and a ruined sheet. In this guide, we’ll break down 9 ......

How to Avoid HAZ in Sheet Metal Laser Cutting: Pro Tips for Precision
Laser cutting is a go-to method in modern fabrication thanks to its speed, precision, and ability to handle complex geometries. But like all thermal cutting processes, it comes with an often-overlooked challenge, the HAZ, or heat affected zone. If you're cutting parts from thin or sensitive metals, that small area of unwanted thermal distortion can make or break your results. So, what is the heat affected zone, and how do you avoid it during laser cutting of metal sheets? In this guide, we’ll explain ......
