Tube Laser Cutting Services in Southern California

Tube laser cutting produces cutouts that match your CAD model exactly, so parts fit the first time. Slots, notches, copes and complex intersections are cut in the same operation, which removes hand notching from the build entirely.

We etch keys and part numbers directly into the tube. On a large weldment that is the difference between an assembly that self-locates and one that needs a fixture and a print at every joint — parts cut and labelled by the machine go together far faster and with fewer errors.

Two 6 kW tube lasers run steel, stainless and aluminum from 20 ft sticks of stock. Quotes are priced by the stick, so send every part of one material in a single multibody file: the parts nest together on the same stock. Parts uploaded one at a time each get their own stock and setup and price high.

If a tube will also be bent, keep the deepest point of any cope or notch at least 3 in from the start of a bend, keep holes, keys and markings out of the bend region, and keep any feature at least 0.75 in from a bend. Our CNC tube bending page and the bend radius chart cover the rest, and both operations run in the same building.

From Fontana we cut tube for fabricators and OEMs across San Bernardino and Riverside counties, Los Angeles and Orange County, and ship across Southern California. ITAR or export-controlled files should not go through the instant quote; email them to sales@calwestmfg.com.
