Profiling and sectioning are the processes of cutting metals and turning them into various shapes or sizes by removing unnecessary parts or excess materials. There are different ways and elements used to profile cut metals, including:

Lasers: Commonly used for narrow cutting and close nesting, this profile cutting process uses laser beams to slice and divide metals. With lasers, there will be less distortion and more accurate cutting outcomes. However, it is best to use laser profile cutting for metals with a thickness of one inch or less.

Plasma: The profile cutting machine uses pressurised gas to cut through thick metals, including stainless steel and carbon steel.

Water Jet: While plasma profile cutting uses pressurised gas, water jet profile cutting utilises pressurised water to create precise cuts on steel and titanium. This process is also useful for ceramics, fabric, stone, and granite cutting.

Band Saw: Band saw profile cutting allows you to cut metals and remove excess material using a band saw machine. It works for both straight and curved cuts, as long as the metal is thick. It is one of the cutting services we offer at Accurate Cutting Services Ltd.

On the other hand, section cutting can be completed through:

Abrasive: The material used for this section cutting process is cut-off wheels made of abrasive grains. Abrasive cutting produces a smoothly cut surface on the material.

Band Saw: It is quite similar to the band saw profile cutting. For this, service providers use different types of band saws, including hand-held, dual column, and vertical bandsaw machines.
