If you are still looking at your steel fabrication quotes based purely on the "price per meter" of cutting, you are looking at the wrong number.
The real cost of steel fabrication isn’t the cut. It’s the assembly.
The "Hidden Factory" You Are Paying For
When you use a traditional saw-and-drill process, you aren't just paying for a cut. You are paying for a hidden factory of inefficiency that slows down your production line:
1. The Measure: A boilermaker manually measuring out lengths.
2. The Cut: A bandsaw cut (often with a tolerance drift of ±2mm).
3. The Deburr: Manually grinding off the sharp burrs left by the saw.
4. The Drill: Moving the pipe to a drill press, measuring holes, center-punching, and drilling.
5. The Fit-up: Trying to weld frames that aren't square because the saw cut was slightly off.
The Tube Laser Reality A BLM Tube Laser eliminates steps 1 through 4 instantly. It takes a raw bundle of steel and outputs a finished, ready-to-weld kit in one continuous pass.
- Holes? Cut instantly with 0.1mm precision.
- Length? Exact every time.
- Etching? We can etch part numbers directly onto the steel so your welders stop guessing which part goes where.
The Bottom Line We recently audited a client who switched from sawing to Tube Laser. Their "cutting" bill went up by 10%, but their welding and assembly time dropped by 40%.Stop buying "cheap cuts" that result in expensive labor. Send us a drawing, and we’ll show you the difference.
