Capabilities




   Cutting       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Abrasive Wheel Cutting
 
     Abrasive cut off uses an abrasive wheel or blade that is used to cut a wide variety of materials such as metals, composites and masonry. A major advantage is it creates a burr free cut on metals.
 
   Band Saw Cutting
 
     A power saw that consists of an endless toothed steel belt, or band, continuously driven around the circumferences of two pulleys.
 
   Circular Cold Saw Cutting
 
     A power saw consisting of a circular toothed cutting blade rotated at high speed.
 
   Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM)
 
     Wire electrical discharge machining (EDM) equipment is used to cut conductive materials using a thin electrode.  The electrode is a thin wire (typically .004"-.012") that follows a programmed path.  The wire does not physically contact the part.  It is charged to a certain level and surrounded by de-ionized water.  A spark is generated that jumps the gap and melts a small amount of material on the part.
 
   Flame Cutting
 
     Flame cutting equipment uses an oxygen gas flame to heat metals in preparation for cutting them.
 
   Laser Cutting
 
     Laser cutting is a CNC controlled, non-contact cutting tool process that allows quick, accurate cutting with a narrow kerf (cutting groove).  Laser types include CO2 lasers and Nd:YAG lasers.  Laser cutting is a very versatile operation that has short setup times, and can cut a wide range of materials of varying hardness and composition. Some of the advantages of laser cutting are high accuracy, cutting of unlimited and complex shapes, clean cutting that requires little or no finishing and generates a minimum amount of heat, and distortion-free cutting.
 
   Miter Cutting
 
     Miter saws are used to make a beveled, or angled cut. 
 
   Plasma Cutting
 
     In plasma cutting, an area is melted with an arc, and then cut by a high-velocity, high-temperature ionized gas.  Also referred to as plasma-arc cutting.
 
   Router
 
     Routing machines have a revolving, high-speed vertical spindle and cutter for milling out the surface or edges of wood, plastic, metal, and other materials.
 
   Water / Abrasive Jet Cutting
 
     Water jets and water abrasive jets rely on highly pressurized water (20,000 - 60,000 psi) flowing through a nozzle or "jewel" approximately 0.010" in diameter.  Advantages include almost no material heating during cutting, low side loads, and ability to achieve complex shapes and tight inside radii. Low fixturing costs and fast setup and programming times make this process very suitable for prototypes or short runs.  It is most widely used for two-dimensional cutting; three-dimensional machining is possible in specialty applications.

   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Materials       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Metals
 
     Any of a broad category of elements that usually have a shiny surface and grayish color, are good conductors of electricity and heat, can be melted or fused, hammered into thin sheets, or drawn into wire.  Common metals include, steel, copper, gold silver, tin, iron, lead, aluminum, and magnesium.
 
   Plastics
 
     Any of numerous organic, synthetic, or processed materials that are mostly thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers of high molecular weight and that can be made into objects, films, or filaments.
 
   Rubber
 
     Natural or synthetic high polymers characterized by their elasticity, high abrasion resistance, and fluid and chemical resistance.  Natural rubber includes gum rubber (polyisoprene) and latex, and synthetic rubber includes many grades such as NorpreneĀ®, neoprene, and silicone.
 
   Glass
 
     Glass is a large class of materials with variable mechanical and optical properties that is formed by cooling from a molten state without crystallization.  Glass is a hard, brittle material consisting or a mixture of silicates that is usually transparent or translucent.  It is considered to be a cooled liquid rather than a true solid.
 
   Stone / Marble / Granite
 
     Stone is any concentrated earthy or mineral matter (rock).  Granite is a hard natural igneous rock consisting chiefly of quartz, orthoclase or microcline, and mica.  Marble is a metamorphic rock formed by the alteration of limestone.
 
   Composites
 
     A solid material comprised of two or more substances that have distinct properties. When merged, each substance retains its own characteristics while imparting the entire composition with beneficial properties. For example, a plastic material in which a fibrous framework is embedded for greater structural stability.
 
   Foam
 
     Any of various lightweight, porous, semi-rigid or spongy materials.
 
   Other
 
     Other, unlisted material.
