Laser cut stainless steel (304 series) is our favorite metal for many projects, including industrial robotics, decorative applications, and automation machinery. It’s durable, strong, and easy to work with. If you have a project that needs to stand the test of time, stainless steel is a great choice.
Waterjet cutting stainless steel is quick, easy and removes the need for many secondary processes. One of the most heralded benefits of abrasive waterjets is that it is a cold cutting process, meaning there are no heat-affected zones. This allows for a part that was cut on a waterjet to be welded immediately. Another huge benefit is that, since there is no material distortion due to heat, detailed work can be done to specification. Operators don’t have to concern themselves with the possibility of melting or gouging.
One of the biggest benefits of abrasive waterjet over laser or plasma is the thickness of the material cut. Laser cutting is restricted to thinner gauges of stainless. On top of that, since stainless is reflective, it needs to be coated in a non-reflective film before laser cutting can occur. Though plasma doesn’t require special coatings for cutting, it still can only cut material about 1.25 inches thick before losing force and making a mess of the original material.
Sawing uses a high-speed, toothed blade to cut through stainless steel. A circular saw or band saws with the appropriate blades designed for cutting stainless steel can be used for this purpose. Saws can produce somewhat clean cuts, but they can generally only create straight-line cuts across the entire cut path and would need grinding and polishing to improve the surface finish.
Traditional milling, lathing, and drilling are more suitable for intricate designs and high-precision applications. They can potentially create a very good surface finish and have the advantage of being able to accurately cut curves and partial-thickness features.
Traditional machining methods also frequently use coolants applied directly to the cut location to help manage temperature and minimize work hardening in stainless steels. They may also need to use specialized carbide tooling or a diamond blade to prevent excessive tool wear, as dull tools can increase the work hardening of stainless steel.
Unfortunately, for stainless steel sheets and plates that require a lot of intricate detail, conventional CNC machining is much slower than laser or waterjet cutting. Machining also cannot achieve the level of complexity or intricacy possible with the other two cutting methods due to limitations on the kerf width that can be achieved.
