Stainless Steel Laser Cutting & Bending Services
Stainless Steel Grades 304, 316 and 430 from 0.5mm to 25mm thick | UK-wide delivery from Essex facility
We provide stainless steel laser cutting and bending services to customers throughout the UK. Using CNC laser cutting technology at our Essex facility, we cut stainless steel sheets to size in thicknesses from 0.5mm to 25mm. Whether you need a single prototype or production batches, we handle grades including 304, 316 and 430 with clean, weld-ready edges.
Need bending too? Our sheet metal bending services cover stainless up to 8mm thick.
Our Expert Stainless steel laser cutting
For thicker stainless steel up to 25mm, our tolerances hold to +/- 0.25mm on standard work, with +/- 0.50mm on material above 20mm thick. These specifications align with ISO guidelines and should be factored into your drawings, particularly when bending is required.
Stainless steel contains 10 to 20% chromium, which forms a passive oxide layer on the surface. This gives the material its corrosion resistance and makes it suitable for demanding environments. Grades 304 and 316 are austenitic and non-magnetic, while 430 is ferritic and magnetic. All grades offer excellent weldability when laser cut, as the process produces clean edges without oxidation when cut with nitrogen assist gas.
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.

Stainless Steel Laser Cutting
Minimum & maximum thicknesses
Our laser cut stainless steel service covers the most commonly specified grades. We stock popular thicknesses and source specialist finishes within 48 hours.
Please note: All grained and mirror polished grades always come with a plastic film coating.
Stainless Steel Bending
Minimum & maximum thicknesses
Complete your project with our bending stainless steel capabilities. We form laser cut parts into 3D components without needing a second supplier.
Protective Film
We can order stainless steel between the thicknesses of 0.9mm and 3mm with a protective plastic coating which is specifically designed for fibre laser cutting. This will help keep the A face of the product scratch free and will give some protection during the fabrication process.
We are able to order it for 4mm to 6mm but due to the cutting process it normally comes off.
Protective Film
We can supply stainless steel between 0.9mm and 3mm with protective plastic coating designed for fibre laser cutting. This keeps the face of your parts scratch-free during cutting and handling. Film can be applied to 4mm to 6mm material, but the cutting process often removes it. Brushed and mirror polished grades always come with protective film as standard.
