Tolerances

We always endeavour to cut as accurately as possible and never to undercut.

Our acceptable tolerances are as follows:

Cut sheet: -0/+1mm.

Cut metal lengths: -0/+1mm.

Cutting tolerances refer to the allowable deviation from a specified dimension when cutting or shaping metal. They define how much a finished piece can vary from its intended measurements while still being considered acceptable.

In metal fabrication and engineering, tolerances for cutting metals are crucial to ensure parts fit correctly, function efficiently, and maintain structural integrity. Whether working with stainless steel, aluminium, copper, brass, or bronze, understanding cutting tolerances helps manufacturers, fabricators, and engineers produce high-quality components that meet exact specifications. Properly defined tolerances reduce waste, improve safety, and enhance the overall quality of metal products.

Understanding and applying tolerances for cutting metals is critical for successful fabrication in the UK. By considering material type, cutting method, thickness, and environmental factors, manufacturers can achieve high-quality results that meet design specifications. Whether working with stainless steel, aluminium, copper, brass, or bronze, maintaining precise tolerances ensures efficiency, reliability, and superior performance in every project.
