SEM runs a Hypertherm HyPerformance HPRXD high definition plasma cutter on a large water filled Lone Star table. The water table reduces warpage on thin plate, which is why we can cut material as thin as 14 gauge cleanly. For pipe and tube we have a separate 3D rotating CNC plasma cutting table.

Hypertherm's True Hole technology produces bolt ready holes in mild steel with no taper, minimal dross, and very little cleanup required. Parts come off the table ready to go.

We keep a variety of plate sizes in stock so we can move fast. Turnaround depends on quantity, material, and whether additional fabrication is needed after cutting, but many jobs are same day. Larger production runs typically run a few days to a week. Call us and we will give you a straight answer on timing.

Our plasma cutting customers range from large steel mills needing production runs of hundreds of identical components, to smaller local businesses and walk in customers who need a single custom part cut that they do not have the equipment to produce themselves. We also cut parts internally that feed into our own piping, structural, and equipment fabrication work.

Customers can bring drawings, DXF files, or even a physical part they need duplicated. If you bring us the part we will pull the measurements and create the drawing ourselves.

We do not just hand you a raw cut part. Every piece gets ground and cleaned. We can also do additional finishing including sandblasting and painting if needed.
