Laser Cutting Tolerances at Charles Day
Here at Charles Day, our 40+ years of experience and industry expertise inform all of our professional metal profiling services. We understand that precision is of paramount importance to our clients, especially when it comes to laser cut parts, which is why we endeavour to provide all of the necessary and most accurate information regarding our laser cutting tolerances
Rectangular
For rectangular laser cut steel plates, where length L, is defined as the greater of the two dimensions, tolerances on length and width shall be as given in Table 1.
Non-rectangular
For non-rectangular laser cut steel plates, because of the difficulty in defining length and width for non-standard shapes, tolerances will be as given in Table 1, where length L shall be assumed to be the maximum dimension of the part in question.
Circles and Rings
For laser cut steel circles and rings, length L will be understood to be the outside diameter of the part in question and tolerances will be as given in Table 1.
