Thanks to our investments in the latest tube cutting technology, WEC Laser also offer a quality laser cutting service for angle, channel and open profile parts of up to 6.5m long and 200mm x 200mm in size.
Angle, Channel & Open Profile Cutting
Our Capabilities
Our laser cut angle, channel and open profile capabilities enables us to offer massive cost and time savings to our customers on parts that would have normally required several complex operations. Our angle and channel laser cutting capability enables us to manufacture complete parts in one hit, which can be over 90% faster than other conventional cutting processes such as sawing, milling, drilling and punching.
We are able to cut angles and channels to size, whether they are stainless steel, mild steel, or aluminium. Our highly skilled team operate 24/7, meaning all of your angle and channel laser cutting requirements are completed as quickly as possible.
With a minimum capacity of 30mm x 20mm and maximum 200mm x 200mm, we have the facilities to cater for your needs. To compliment our angle and channel laser cutting, we also provide a number of other services including CNC Machining, small to large fabrication, Sheet Metalwork, Large Fabrication, coded welding and powder coating, all under one roof.

Frequently Asked Questions
Angle and channel cutting is a fabrication process that involves cutting angles and channels from metal materials using specialised machinery such as saws or laser cutting equipment. This process is commonly used in construction, manufacturing, and engineering industries to create structural components with precise angles and dimensions. By accurately cutting angles and channels, it allows for the assembly of frameworks, supports, and other structures with ease.
Angle and channel cutting enable efficient production of components tailored to specific project requirements, contributing to the overall strength and stability of the finished product.
- Precision: It allows for precise cutting of angles and channels to exact specifications, ensuring components fit together seamlessly.
- Efficiency: The process is efficient, reducing material waste and minimising the need for additional machining or finishing.
- Versatility: Angle and channel cutting can be applied to various materials, including metals like steel, aluminum, and stainless steel, accommodating diverse project needs.
- Structural Integrity: By accurately cutting angles and channels, it enhances the structural integrity of fabricated components, ensuring they withstand loads and stresses effectively.
- Cost-Effectiveness: It streamlines production processes, reducing labor costs and production time, ultimately contributing to cost savings.
- Customisation: The flexibility of angle and channel cutting allows for the creation of customised components tailored to specific project requirements and designs.
Overall, angle and channel cutting play a crucial role in achieving precision, efficiency, and quality in manufacturing and construction applications.
