Common questions
What file types do you accept for quotes?
We work from .dxf and .dwg CAD files, which you can email directly to us. If you don't have CAD files, you can fax a dimensioned drawing and we'll work from that.
What materials and thicknesses can you laser cut?
Carbon steel up to 5/8″, stainless steel up to 1/2″ and aluminum up to 1/4″, on beds up to 5′ × 10′.
Do you take small jobs or one-off parts?
Yes. Our customers range from large corporations to individuals — one-off parts, prototypes and repair pieces are welcome alongside production runs.
Can you bend and weld the parts you cut?
Absolutely. We have 12′ and 8′ press brakes, a 12′ hydraulic shear, plate rolls and in-house MIG/TIG welding, so cut blanks can become finished parts without leaving our shop.
Where are you located?
713 3rd Avenue in Watervliet, NY 12189 — about 5 miles northeast of downtown Albany and minutes from I-787.
