CNC Plasma Cutting Services — York Region

What should a DXF look like before I upload it?

A single closed outline for the part. Drop it on the quoter and a price comes back in seconds — material and cutting, line by line, free and with no sign-in.

Anything the software cannot read confidently goes to a person who calls you back rather than to a guess.

Price a DXF

Should this part be cut on the plasma or the laser?

Thickness and edge decide it. The CNC fiber laser cuts sheet and thinner plate on a 5 x 10 bed with a narrow kerf, a square edge and small features held tight. The CNC plasma takes the heavier plate the laser will not, with a wider kerf and a slightly bevelled edge that is fine for structural work and for anything welded or machined afterwards.

Both machines run in the same Newmarket building, so a job needing some of each does not move between shops.

Do I get loose cut parts back, or can they be welded up here?

Either. Cut parts can go straight out the door, or stay in the building to be formed, welded and finished as an assembly — the bandsaw, the press and the welding bays are at the same address as the cutting tables.

Say which you want when you order; it changes the price and the schedule, not the shop.

What if the part is not flat when it is finished?

Cutting is the first operation, not the only one. A flat blank comes off the plasma or the laser and then bends, rolls or welds up in the same building — so a bracket, a formed channel or a rolled ring starts as a DXF the same way a flat plate does.

Send the flat pattern if you have one. If you have the finished shape instead, say so and the developed length is worked out here rather than guessed at the press.

Open SteelForge

Who owns the DXF I upload for cutting?

You do. Uploading gives the shop permission to use the file to quote, program, cut and deliver your order, and to keep a copy for records and traceability. Nothing beyond that.

We do not sell customer files and we do not cut from them for anybody else.

"I have worked very closely with Ken and his team over the last five years. His quality of work and in field welding repairs are top notch. Steady Steel is extremely amazing when it comes to a welding project: from first conversation, to design, full CAD draws to final product. Steady Steel as a whole is a welding shop I fully recommend. I use no other for our local projects to items needed fabricated for our projects across Canada."
