Cutting Tool User Guide for Sheet and Plate products

Each of our Aluminium, Stainless Steel and Polycarbonate sheets and plates are offered in a range of handy sizes, which can be selected from the dropdown menu on each product page.

What if I require more precise cut pieces?

No problem! This is where our integrated cutting tool comes in.

How do I get sheets or plates cut to bespoke sizes?

  1. Choose the product you want, and select the total size of product you require
  2. If you don’t need this product to be cut any further, then select BUY SELECTED SIZE – NO CUTS
  3. If you do need this product cut into more specific sections, then select BUY NOW – WITH CUTS; this will open the cutting tool
  4. The box that opens up shows a visual representation of the sheet size you’ve selected (e.g. in this example, it’s 200mm x 100mm)
  5. Input the dimensions (length and width in mm) of the section you want cut from the product. This section will then be shown as dark grey on the visual tool, so you can see how much of the product you have left. In this example we start with 50mm x 50mm
  6. The kerf or cut waste does not apply to sheet products that are less than 8mm thick, as these items are guillotined to size (and is therefore displayed as zero). Plates that are 8mm thick and over, are sawn and therefore there’s a kerf. The kerf is the width of the saw blade (usually 5mm), and this corresponds directly with the width of the slot that the blade will cut into the material. This material turns to swarf and is therefore lost from the remaining length/width of the plate. For example, if 1 cut is requested, then 5mm of material is lost. If 10 cuts are requested, a total of 50mm of material is lost
  7. If you require any further pieces then select ADD CUT, and repeat the above by adding in the sizes you need
  8. Once you’ve selected all of your cuts, then scroll down and choose whether you would like the offcuts to be recycled by us, or if you’d like us to send them with your order
  9. To add to your basket, select BUY NOW – WITH CUTS, at the bottom of the page
  10. You can multiply your order on the basket page, and this will duplicate the cuts.

Our standard cutting tolerance is +/- 2mm.
Please contact us if greater precision is required.
