Preparing your design.

How does flame-cutting work?

  • Step #1
    Designs are prepared for output to our CNC-guided cutter.
  • Step #2
    The plate surface or spot is pre-heated to improve quality.
  • Step #3
    When the surface is red-hot, a stream of pure oxygen is injected through the torch tip.
  • Step #4
    At over 2500 degrees, the steel literally burns as the stream of oxygen continues along the line of the cut.
  • Step #5
    The result is a smooth burned edge.
  • Step #6
    After cutting, the plate is often complimented with additional processing operations such as normalizing and Blanchard grinding to produce ready-to-use components.
