youll need a fiber or pulsed laser to cut metals, and those cost in the 10s of thousands of dollars. if you are looking to cut metal in a price range close to glowforge, you might want to look into getting a CNC machine. I am in the same boat, and I ordered a glowforge pro, but knew at the time it could only engrave anodized aluminum. I bought an x-carve CNC machine which can cut solid aluminum and softer metals. You might want to check into that.
yep! Just finished building my enclosure for it!
Its on the lower shelf now, but had to move it for painting. I also wrapped the lower section in plastic with a multi-level vacuum system: one at the cut head with a dust shoe, and one at the outer plastic wrapping to make sure the finer dust also gets filtered out of the air in there.

I will be using Rowmark engraving acrylic with the metallic finish to simulate metal.
I can not find out, but think that there is a possibility that their surfaces might be a micron or even less of vacuum deposited actual metal.
If so, maybe you can cut metal if you keep it thin enough.
I don't know that the application matters, but I'm cutting a bunch of bolts. I want a decent job, but I'm not worried about aesthetics. I guess I'm mainly interested in the long-term health of the cut-off wheels (though, of course, long-term for an abrasive wheel is pretty short).
High speed, low pressure, and try to avoid sideways (flat way on the disk) movement or twisting in the cut. If the motor bogs down, reduce pressure. Edit: unless your abrasive wheels actually mention a top speed, and it's lower than the fastest your machine goes.
Expect to break some - aside from the hot sparks, fragments of cutoff wheels are the major reason for safety glasses and gloves - it's tricky to keep things perfectly aligned for correct cutting all the time, and when I screw up they break - I assume that applies to other folks as well, but feel free to call me a klutz if you only wear them down, rather than breaking any ;-)
We offer instant online prices and rapid lead-times for precision sheet metal parts, including metal laser cutting, tapping, deburring and graining, metal bending, and powder coating. We can make your custom sheet metal parts as fast as same-day.
Need help? Give us a call at 801-850-7584 and we'll be glad to help. We are a direct metal cutting service, with no fabrication brokers or 3rd-party service providers between you and your parts. That means better prices, better customer support, and better lead-times. Online laser cutting has never been easier.
Our system analyzes your custom sheet metal parts and provides instant Design for Manufacturability (DFM) feedback for both flat and bent metal parts, letting you know if there are any problems that could affect your finished part.
OSH Cut's internal quality and production management systems go above and beyond the core requirements of ISO 9001:2015. We review production issues, error rates, customer reviews, and other indicators weekly, and use that information to build a culture of continuous improvement. Our goal is to offer perfect sheet metal parts.
We are happy to handle your custom metal cutting and bending orders of any size, from a single prototype to a production run with thousands of metal parts. You can order a single part to verify your design before pulling the trigger on a production run.
We offer laser cutting services using our state-of-the-art, high power fiber lasers. Supported sheet metal and plate thicknesses range from 0.005" to 1", and we stock over 300 grades/alloys of steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and nickel.
We can handle any number of bends, including interior "window" bends that require sectionalized tooling. Our online system will analyze your part and report any potential manufacturability issues before you submit.
Take your metal fabrication to the next level with precision laser-cut metal tube. We can cut metal tube up to 10" in diameter and square, rectangular, and round stock with up three eighths in wall thickness, in steel, stainless, and aluminum. Bevel cuts are supported up to 45 degrees.
OSH Cut supports powder coating in a variety common colors, for parts up to 50 lbs in weight and up to 60" in length or width. Simply upload your sheet metal part, select a color, and know that you'll receive a beautiful finished part.
With instant online pricing, automatic DFM analysis, and multiple lead-time options during checkout, you can price your parts, order online, and have your prototype or small-batch custom fabrication order in-hand as soon as next day. Just choose "Priority Rush" during checkout.
We take all the custom metal parts in your order and "nest" them on sheet metal, to get the best material price. Other online metal cutting services don't offer nested pricing. Multi-part metal cutting jobs usually benefit greatly from nesting, so it's an important part of bidding on online laser cutting jobs. Be sure to log in and click "Continue" to get the final price of your metal parts.
Our standard lead-time is 5 business days for prototype and short-run laser cutting jobs, but there are options during checkout for lead-times as quick as same-day, depending on job size, material availability, and capacity. We'll cut your job early when we can.
Unfortunately not. Our lead-time engine is tied closely to our production planning software, which monitors production capacity. During peak demand, we can't guarantee a faster lead even if your job is small.
We do! You can upload a 3D model of your sheet metal part in STEP or SolidWorks format, and our platform will automatically unfold your metal part to create a flat pattern and bend program. You can also upload a flat pattern and select bend lines if that's easier for you. Whatever method you use, you can watch a bend simulation that shows how your part will form on our equipment, alerting you of potential issues right away.
Our system automatically applies aggressive pricing discounts as your metal cutting and bending job increases in size. To get the best price, upload more parts or increase your order quantities. OSH Cut is most competitive for mid-to-large sheet metal fabrication jobs containing multiple custom metal parts, parts that benefit from nesting, and parts that include bending.
We currently offer shipping in the United States only. Shipping heavy sheet metal parts internationally is usually impractical, so there generally isn't significant demand. We may offer international shipping in the future, however.
Absolutely! Our lasers usually cut without leaving a burr, but you can select deburring to eliminate any potential burrs on thicker materials. Make sure that after you upload your part, you select deburring as an option. We can deburr your parts and optionally put a 240-grit linear grain on your parts. Not all parts have enough surface area to support deburring, but our system will let you know what is available after upload.

Metal cutting is a subtractive metalworking process of dividing a metal workpiece into multiple parts using force or other erosion techniques. The cutting action can be generated with blades or methods like electrical discharges and water jets.
Henry Maudslay is the inventor of metal cutting processes like the lathe. The actual history of metal working dates far back to ancient times like the Egyptian Civilisation. The Late Medieval age saw the emergence of metal punching machines. With the development of electrical components, the metal cutting methods shifted to electrical operations instead of physical. The later development of CNC technology further automated the process.
Metal cutting is among the most common processes for raw material processing. Metal cutting processes shape raw sheet metal like mild steel for further manufacturing techniques. Advanced metal cutting techniques like waterjet cutting can directly create the final part from raw metal sheets and blocks.
