Raw steel Details & depositWhy laser-cut
Plasma, arc and torch cutting leave rough edges, wandering holes and heat warp. Our parts are cut on an xTool 1200W fiber laser.
Fiber-laser cutting holds tight tolerances, so every plate matches its drawing.
A narrow kerf leaves crisp edges and sharp inside corners, with no torch bevel to grind off.
Holes are cut from the same file as the outline, so they land where the drawing says, set after set.
A small heat-affected zone and little slag mean flat plates and less cleanup than plasma or torch cutting.
Every part starts as a dimensioned drawing. Repeat orders come off the same file.
How it works
Pick your set, pitch, plate and hole size, or send us your sizes.
We email your order details: size, pitch, hole size and quantity. Nothing is cut until you confirm.
Parts are laser-cut from the drawing, deburred and checked against it.
Packed and shipped from Trescott, Maine, insured for loss in transit.
Custom design
Odd pitch, full-dimension timbers, a shape nobody stocks, or your initials in the plate: send a sketch, photo or measurements. We draw it with you, send a dimensioned proof, and revise until you approve it. Nothing is cut until you sign off.
Finish
Soft-launch sets ship raw: laser-cut, deburred, unfinished steel. Mill scale and surface rust are normal. Clear, oil or paint it to suit your build. About the raw finish · Finishing guide.
