Machine finder: which laser or plasma machine do I need?
Answer five quick questions. We suggest the machine type, laser power and bed size that fit your work, then you can ask for a price in one tap.
How we choose laser power
Laser power decides the thickest plate you can cut with a good edge and how fast you cut thin sheet. The finder uses the typical maximum thickness for a good-quality edge on our machines:
| Laser power | Mild steel | Stainless steel | Aluminium |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.5 kW | 12 mm | 5 mm | 4 mm |
| 3 kW | 20 mm | 10 mm | 8 mm |
| 6 kW | 25 mm | 20 mm | 16 mm |
| 12 kW | 40 mm | 40 mm | 30 mm |
| 20 kW | 50 mm+ | 60 mm | 50 mm |
These are guide figures. Edge quality and speed depend on gas, nozzle and material grade. Send us a drawing and we will cut a free sample in your material before you decide.
