Mild Steel Laser Cutting & Bending Services
Mild Steel cut to size from 0.7mm to 40mm | Bending from 0.7mm to 12mm | Essex facility, UK-wide delivery
We provide mild steel laser cutting and bending across the UK. From our Essex facility, we cut 0.7mm to 40mm steel in S275, S355 and CR4 using CNC laser technology. Need bending? We bend material up to 12mm, supplying cut and folded parts from one supplier.
Our Expert mild steel laser cutting
For larger dimensions such as 35mm and 40mm, our tolerances adhere to + / -0.50mm, fully aligning with established ISO guidelines. When preparing your drawings for bending, these tolerance specifications are crucial to ensure precise manufacturing.
Fundamentally, mild steel consists primarily of iron with low carbon content, which gives it exceptional strength, ductility, and resistance to breaking under stress. Moreover, mild steel varieties including S275, S355, and CR4 offer outstanding machinability and weldability, thereby making them ideal choices for both structural and industrial applications where precise bending is required.
Maximum Sizes
The maximum sheet size for most materials is 3000mm x 1500mm, a 10mm border is required around the outside, so the maximum part size we can cut is 2980mm x 1480mm.

Mild Steel FAQs
What is mild steel?
Mild steel is low-carbon steel, with a carbon content usually up to around 0.25%. It is strong, ductile and easy to weld and form, which makes it the most widely used steel. It has no built-in corrosion resistance, so it is usually painted, coated or galvanised for outdoor use.
What thickness of mild steel can you laser cut?
We laser cut mild steel from 0.7mm up to 40mm thick at our Essex facility, using Trumpf fibre laser machines for clean, accurate edges.
What grades of mild steel do you supply and laser cut?
We stock and laser cut CR4 cold rolled (0.7 to 3mm), S275JR in pickled-and-oiled and dry finishes (3 to 20mm), and S355J2 dry plate (3 to 40mm). Other grades are available to order.
Is mild steel magnetic?
Yes. Mild steel is ferromagnetic because of its high iron content, which is why it works well with magnetic clamps and lifting equipment.
Is mild steel recyclable?
Yes. Steel is 100% recyclable and can be reprocessed again and again without losing quality, which makes it one of the most recycled materials in the world.
