Cutting & Profile Processes
Cutting and profile processes are used to cut sheet, plate, tube, and bar stock to a specified outline or blank, either as a finished operation or ahead of forming, machining, or fabrication. The right process depends on material, thickness, tolerance, and whether the component needs a heat-affected-zone-free or hardened-material cut.
