Clean Cuts That Fit Right the First Time

Schedule Metal Cutting & Plasma Cutting Services in Detroit

Accurate metal cutting makes the difference between a project that assembles smoothly and one that requires endless grinding, filing, and rework. Whether you're producing custom shapes for a fabrication project, cutting replacement parts for equipment repairs, or creating components for a larger assembly, the precision of your cuts directly affects fit and finish.

Metal Man Mobile Welding provides precision cutting for steel, aluminum, and stainless steel using CNC and plasma cutting equipment. We handle thick and thin metal cutting with capabilities that range from delicate 16-gauge sheet to heavy plate over one inch thick. Our clean cuts reduce the need for secondary operations, making your project assembly faster and more accurate. We serve clients throughout Detroit who need custom shapes and components for fabrication, repairs, or replacement parts.

Key Benefits of This Service

Our cutting process begins with your specifications, whether that's a CAD file, a template, or marked dimensions on the material itself. For CNC plasma cutting, we program the machine to follow your design exactly, ensuring that every piece matches the original file. This repeatability is critical when you need multiple identical parts or components that must fit together within tight tolerances.

Plasma cutting uses an electrically conductive gas to transfer energy from a power supply to the metal, creating a high-temperature arc that melts and blows away material. Metal Man Mobile Welding operates plasma systems with automatic height control that adjusts for material warping and maintains consistent cut quality across the entire sheet. The result is edges that require minimal cleanup before welding or assembly.

We cut complex shapes including circles, slots, and intricate patterns that would be impractical with mechanical saws or shears. Thick plate cutting uses higher amperage settings and slower travel speeds to achieve full penetration without excessive dross buildup. Thin gauge cutting is performed at faster speeds with lower amperage to prevent warping and maintain dimensional accuracy.

What to Expect When You Book?

Metal cutting projects involve decisions about material handling, edge quality, and production speed. Below are answers to questions we hear regularly from clients planning cutting and fabrication work.

What's the thickest material you can cut with plasma?
Our plasma cutting equipment handles steel up to 1.25 inches thick, aluminum up to 1 inch, and stainless steel up to 0.75 inches. Thicker materials require oxygen-fuel cutting or mechanical methods.

How accurate are your CNC plasma cuts?
CNC plasma cutting maintains tolerances of ±0.030 inches on most materials and shapes. Tighter tolerances may require secondary machining, which we coordinate with local machine shops.

Can you cut parts from material I provide?
Yes, you can supply your own material, or we can source steel, aluminum, or stainless from our suppliers. Providing material can reduce costs if you already have stock on hand.

How much cleanup is needed after plasma cutting?
Plasma-cut edges typically have minimal dross on the bottom that's easily removed with a grinder or wire wheel. Top edges are smooth enough for most welding applications without additional preparation.

What file formats do you accept for CNC cutting?
We work with DXF, DWG, and PDF files that include clear dimensions. If you don't have digital files, we can create them from your sketches or physical templates at an additional charge.
