Stainless steel sheet can be used for a myriad of useful and practical purposes. It's used to manufacture thousands of different products including vehicles, tanks, fences, medical tables, plate armour and roofs. Normally bought in rectangles of different sizes, stainless steel usually needs to be cut into the correct dimensions for constructing products.
Plasma Cutters - A plasma torch cuts steel and other metals using a stable gas and sometimes compressed air, blown at high velocities out of a nozzle and an electrical arc is made through the gas, turning some of the gas to plasma. The plasma is hot enough to melt the cut in the metal and moves quick enough to blow the melted metal away from the cut.
Laser Saw
Water Jet Cutters - Water Jet cutters work by combining a jet of water at high speed and pressure with an abrasive substance. It copies naturally occurring water erosion in nature but is hugely concentrated and accelerated. It's environmentally friendly because there's no hazardous waste and uses only a small amount of water as it's recycled via a closed loop system. Water Jet cutters can slice through anything from rubber, plastic and foam, to many different metals and stones.
Circular Saws - Modern circular saws will cut through stainless steel sheets without heat or needing any coolant substance. They are available in many different sizes for different thicknesses of steel and are easily used at home for DIY projects and other small jobs, or by professional builders.
Laser Cutters - Supremely accurate and computer-controlled laser cutting allows for very fine cutting detail to be handled easily. Laser cutting machines work with a gas laser made from mixing CO2 and other gases like nitrogen and helium.
Industrial Strength cutters - For steel that is too thick for commercial cutters you may have to take it to an industrial factory processing unit to be cut for you.
There are several solutions to choose from to help you cut stainless steel sheet for your jobs. Take in to account the thickness of the stainless steel sheet you need to cut before you go out and buy a new cutter. Most retailers will be knowledgeable about which of the cutters they sell is suitable for you.
