Metal Laser Cutting

Material Thickness

OSH Cut offers metal blank cutting in material thicknesses up to 1.0" in steel and aluminum. We currently offer stainless thicknesses up to 5/8" thick, copper up to 1/8" thick, and brass up to 1/4" thick.

Our minimum material thickness is 0.02", but varies depending on the material.

Equipment

We cut metal parts using one of several 10kW Trumpf 3030 Fiber Lasers, a 7kW Trumpf 7000 Tube Laser, and an 8 kW Mazak Optiplex. Our equipment lineup is driven by in-house programming that syncs with our online quoting/DFM app, ensuring that every order experience is fast, incredibly organized, and precise, regardless of the supported material type.

Cutting Tolerances

OSH Cut's standard tolerances are +/- 0.005" for most materials and thicknesses.

Depending on material, cut density, and part aspect ratio (length over width of your part) heating can cause your part to expand during the cut, and shrink when it cools. On long narrow aluminum parts in particular, this can cause your finished part size to be smaller than expected. Contact us if you have any concerns about your parts.

Flat Finishing

Finishing Options

OSH Cut offers deburring services for flat laser-cut metal parts. Deburring is currently performed by a 120-grit wide belt sander.

Finishing Quality

OSH Cut is on a journey to be able to offer perfect parts, in terms of burr, surface finish, and edge quality. Offering truly perfect, consumer-ready parts is outside our current capabilities, so you can expect some parts to have minor cosmetic defects and surface scratching that may require post operations to correct.

This isn't where we want to be, and we are working on it! Perfect parts will require additional processes, equipment, and systems, and we'll get there.

Centrifugal Tumbling

Smooth, Uniform Edges

Centrifugal tumbling uses abrasive media, a liquid solution, and rotation speeds up to 225 RPM to remove slag from laser cutting, soften edges, and give the metal surface a uniform look.

We tumble parts up to 11" on the longest side, with the other two dimensions fitting within a 6" circle, and up to 50 lb.

Bead Blasting

A Clean Matte Finish

Bead blasting uses recycled glass beads and compressed air to remove burn marks, slag, rust, and other imperfections. No chemicals are used.

A bead blasted surface can be the final finish, or a clean base for coating or plating.

Bending

Materials

OSH Cut offers bending in steel, stainless, aluminum, and copper, in thicknesses up to 3/4". See our material catalog for more details about supported materials and thicknesses.

Bend Parameters

Bending parameters like bend radius, k-factor, and minimum flange lengths can be found in our material catalog for all supported materials.

CNC Tube Bending

Cut and Bent Tube in One Order

Combine tube laser cutting and CNC tube bending in a single order. Our tube laser cuts holes and fish-mouth profiles on your tube ends, so you skip drilling with a jig, and then we bend the tube to spec.

Standard tolerances are +/- 1 degree per bend angle and per plane-of-bend rotation, and 0.125" for the distance between bends.

Tapping

Save Time and Headache

Avoid the time, headache, and potential for broken taps by letting us cut threads in your part.

OSH Cut offers metal tapping in tap sizes ranging from 6-32 to 1 1/2-6 (standard) and M3 x 0.5 to M36 - 4.0 (Metric). Our equipment makes metal tapping fast and cost-effective.

Select Tapping After Upload

Our instant quoting app automatically detects circular holes in your flat pattern or 3D model. To add tapping to your part, simply select the appropriate holes in your drawing after upload, and choose the tap size.

We'll automatically adjust the hole size as needed to accommodate the tap size that you selected. We report the adjusted hole size and target thread engagement / thread depth we used to calculate it, and the number of threads that will be cut in your selected material thickness.

Countersinking

Countersinking in Steel, Stainless, and Aluminum

OSH Cut countersinks holes in steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Our tooling cuts 82-degree countersinks for imperial hardware and 90-degree countersinks for metric hardware, and works best in material 18 gauge or thicker.

Our quoting app detects countersunk holes in your 3D model automatically and programs them into production.

Hardware Insertion

PEM Fasteners

We stock over 400 popular PEM self-clinching fasteners, from studs and standoffs to threaded nuts, and install them in your parts.

Our quoting app checks that your material thickness, bend angles, and allowances work with the hardware you choose, before you order.
