	Laser Tube Cutting - FAQ
	Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Tube Cutting How can Fraser Steel's laser tube cutting help cut manufacturing costs? Our process of tube cutting by using laser technology can help cut manufacturing costs by reducing or optimizing the tube fabrication process. If you require a part with several features such as slots, holes, mitres, copes, or profiles then laser tube cutting can save you money compared to traditional tube fabrication processes. Does Fraser Steel's tube cutting process require tooling? While conventional tube fabrication techniques can require expensive tooling and several operations for multiple featured parts, laser tube cutting can consolidate multiple features with one continuous process without the need for tooling. Can Fraser Steel's laser tube cutting process help improve labor productivity? Yes, as a result of our Adige laser tube cutting machine's ability to perform many functions, Fraser Steel's tube cutting work cell is able to consolidate as many as 6 different fabrication steps into one continuous process and in most applications this will remove 60 to 80% of the labor content compared to conventional methods. Typically what type of tolerances can Fraser Steel's tube cutting process hold? Parts that are produced on Fraser Steel's Adige laser tube cutting machines typically hold a tolerance in the range of +/- .005 of an inch and in practice compared to traditional techniques, we find that the parts produced on our laser tube cutting machines are much more accurate and much more consistent when we take a look at parts being produced in contract manufactures around the country. What size tubing is Fraser Steel's laser tube cutting machines capable of processing? Fraser Steel's laser tube cutting machines can process tube ranging from 1/2 to 6 inch in diameter and up to .250 in wall thickness. Can my part be produced using Fraser Steel's laser tube cutting process? Fraser Steel's Adige laser tube cutting machines can process tube ranging from 1/2 to 6 inch in diameter and up to .250 in wall thickness.
