How To

Additional Cuts on Fabrication Metals

Whenever you need custom cuts on your fabrication metals, it is useful to understand how to order additional cuts on these orders.
We can cut your sheet and wire to the sizes you need (there will be a small charge for each additional cut). The minimum cut size for each gauge thickness is listed below.

• 10-12 gauge metal: 3/8" wide x 6"

• 14-18 gauge metal: 1/4" wide x 6"

• 20-22 gauge metal: 1/4" wide x 6" or 12"

• 24-26 gauge metal: 1/4" wide x 6" or 12"

• 28-32 gauge metal: 1/4" wide x 6"
