What We Cut

CNC fibre laser cutting provides clean, accurate parts from flat sheet metal. We can cut most metallic materials in a wide range of thicknesses up to 20mm, maintaining close tolerances.

Material Thickness Range Notes
Mild Steel (S275 / S355) 1mm โ€” 20mm Supplied oiled or dry. Pickled & oiled available.
Stainless Steel (304 / 316) 1mm โ€” 12mm Mill finish as standard. Brushed finish on request.
Aluminium (5083 / 6082) 1.5mm โ€” 12mm Mill finish. Anodising available via referral.
3000 ร— 1500
Max Sheet Size
Millimetres. Larger parts possible โ€” ask about multi-sheet profiling.

Cutting Tolerance
Across the full sheet. Tight feature tolerances discussed on request.
No Min
Order Quantity
One part or one thousand โ€” minimum job charge applies on small orders.
Already use our welding tables?

All BPT welding tables use 16mm holes on a 50mm pitch. Need fixture plates, jig components, or custom tooling to fit your table? We can cut those too โ€” just send us a DXF or describe what you need.

Beyond the Cut

We can take your job further than flat-cut blanks. Folding and welding are done in-house โ€” no extra logistics.

โš™๏ธ
Folding & Press Brake

We have CNC press brake capacity. Supply your flat DXF plus a folding drawing or the step/stp files, and we'll quote the complete formed part. Tolerances to ยฑ0.5mm on formed dimensions as standard. Ideal for brackets, flanges, enclosures, and chassis work.

๐Ÿ”ฅ
Welding & Fabrication

For assemblies that need welding after cutting and forming, our fabrication team can complete the job. The same craftsmanship that goes into every BPT welding table goes into every job we take on. Frames, enclosures, structural components โ€” talk to us about your project.

One supplier, finished part

Sending parts to three different suppliers costs you time and margin. We can take your files and return a finished, welded assembly โ€” supplied direct from our Somerset workshop.Contact us to discuss your project.

How It Works

No sales calls, no lengthy quoting forms. Here's how a typical job runs from enquiry to delivery.

1
Send Us Your Files

Use the contact form or email us directly - james@bptables.co.uk. Include material, thickness, quantity, and any folding or fabrication notes. DXF is preferred โ€” we can also work from PDF or dimensioned drawings for simple parts.

2
Quote Within 24 - 48 Hours

You'll receive a clear price and lead time by return. No hidden charges, no material surcharge surprises. If we spot anything in your file that might affect the cut โ€” open paths, tiny features, overlapping lines โ€” we'll flag it before we start.

3
Confirm & We Cut

Once you approve the quote, we schedule your job. Standard turnaround is 3โ€“5 working days. Rush jobs available โ€” ask at the time of quoting.

4
Delivery or Collection

Parts are dispatched via courier or pallet depending on size and quantity. Collection from our workshop near Taunton is always available and free of charge.

File Requirements

Getting your file right saves time and ensures your parts cut exactly as intended. Here's what we need:

  • DXF/DWG or step/stl format preferred โ€” exported from AutoCAD, Fusion 360, SolidWorks, Inkscape, or any CAD package
  • All lines as vectors โ€” no raster images embedded in the file
  • Closed profiles โ€” all outlines must be fully closed paths; open lines will flag at our end and we'll come back to you
  • One file per part โ€” if you have multiple different parts in a batch, separate DXF files makes it quicker to quote accurately
  • Indicate grain direction if critical โ€” for stainless and aluminium with a visible grain, note this in your instructions
  • Bend lines on a separate layer โ€” if folding is required, include bend lines labelled on a layer called BENDS
Don't have a DXF?

If you have a sketch, dimensioned PDF, or even a clear photo of a hand drawing, send it to us. For simple parts we can draw it up and include a small draughting charge in the quote. Don't let the file format stop you getting in touch.

Pricing

Laser cutting prices depend on material, thickness, cut length, quantity, and whether folding or fabrication is involved. Here's what you can expect:

Minimum job charge ยฃ35 โ€” covers set-up for small or single-part jobs
Simple flat parts Typically ยฃ20โ€“ยฃ80 per part depending on size and material; lower per-part price on batch runs
Folding / press brake Quoted per bend โ€” typically ยฃ5โ€“ยฃ15 per bend depending on complexity
Fabrication / welding Quoted per job based on time and complexity
Rush jobs 15โ€“25% surcharge depending on how tight the turnaround โ€” ask when requesting your quote
Payment terms Monthly invoicing for trade accounts. Proforma for new customers.
Trade accounts welcome

If you're likely to send us regular work, we can set you up with a trade account โ€” monthly invoicing, priority scheduling, and a direct line to our cutting team. Contact us to discuss.

Frequently Asked Questions

What file format do you need?

DXF/DWG or step/stp is our preferred format. We can also work from PDF, or dimensioned drawings for simple parts. If you're unsure, just send us what you have and we'll advise.

What's your cutting tolerance?

We work to a tolerance of ยฑ0.2mm. For most engineering applications this is more than sufficient. If your part has tighter tolerances on specific features, let us know and we'll discuss whether additional machining is required post-cut.

Do you have a minimum order quantity?

No. We can supply single parts. The minimum job charge of ยฃ35 applies to small or single-part jobs to cover set-up time, but there's no minimum quantity requirement.

I only have a sketch โ€” can you still help?

Yes, for straightforward parts. Send us a clear dimensioned sketch or photo and we'll quote including a small drafting charge to draw the DXF. For complex assemblies, we'd recommend supplying a DXF to ensure accuracy.

How quickly can you turn around an urgent job?

Standard turnaround is 3โ€“5 working days. For urgent jobs we can often cut within 24โ€“48 hours โ€” a rush surcharge of 15โ€“25% applies. Tell us your deadline when you get in touch and we'll tell you honestly whether we can hit it.

Do I need to supply material?

No โ€” we supply all material. Just send your DXF and specify the material and thickness, and we'll handle the rest.

Can I collect parts from your workshop?

Yes โ€” collection from our workshop near Taunton, Somerset is always available and free of charge. Contact us when placing your order to arrange a time.

Is there a setup charge for repeat orders?

If you re-order the same part with the same DXF, there is no additional set-up charge โ€” the file is already on our system. Re-orders are typically faster to quote and schedule than new jobs.
