Manual and semi-automated oxy-fuel gas cutting of MS plates to size and shape — the preferred method for very thick steel sections and jobs where flexibility is key.
| Process | Oxy-Fuel (Oxygen + LPG/Acetylene) |
|---|---|
| Material | Mild Steel (MS) Plates |
| Cut Type | Straight, bevel, contour |
| Best For | Very thick plate, heavy sections, bevel cuts |
| Tolerance | ±3—6mm (manual / process-dependent) |
| Material Source | Our stock or customer-supplied |
Very thick MS plates where plasma reach is insufficient
Bevel / chamfer cuts for weld joint preparation
Loose dimensional tolerance is acceptable (±3—6mm)
Cost-sensitive heavy structural work
