Where we fit into gasket & seal supply

Laser Cutting Experts is a cutting partner for gasket manufacturers, maintenance departments and fabrication shops. We do not compound materials or handle moulded products — our focus is flat gasket and seal profiles cut from sheet and roll goods, supplied as finished parts or kits that line up with your hardware and flange standards.

  • OEMs & equipment builders
    Production runs of repeat gasket sets, shims and wear plates that match your CAD data. Ideal for machinery builders, enclosure manufacturers and equipment OEMs.
  • Maintenance & repair teams
    One-off and small-batch gaskets cut from drawings, samples or scans for plant shutdowns, urgent repairs and ongoing service work.
  • Fabricators & laser shops
    Complement your metal cutting by offloading non-metal gaskets and seals to us — rubber, foams, cork and PTFE parts that sit behind the metalwork.

Materials we cut for gaskets & seals

We work with most flat gasket and sealing materials supplied in sheet or roll form, provided they are compatible with digital knife cutting, laser cutting or CNC routing. For specialised compounds, you can supply the stock from your preferred manufacturer and we will handle the cutting.

Flat sheets up to 1500mm x 3000mm

Rubbers & elastomers

  • NR, SBR, NBR and neoprene sheet for general-purpose gaskets
  • EPDM and silicone for weather, UV and temperature resistance
  • Insertion rubber for flange gaskets and isolation pads

Foams, cork & fibre

  • Closed cell and open cell foams for compression seals
  • Cork and cork-rubber gasket sheet for flanges and covers
  • Fibre and compressed sheet for fluid and gas service gaskets

Plastics & metals

  • PTFE and modified PTFE sheet for chemical-resistant gaskets
  • HDPE and other engineering plastics for spacers and shims
  • Thin stainless, aluminium and shim stock for metal gaskets*

*Metal gaskets and shims are limited to flat profiles within our standard thickness and bed size envelope.

Typical Gasket & Seal Components We Cut

From simple ring gaskets to complex multi-hole profiles, we cut flat seals to match your bolt patterns, hardware and mating faces. You provide the dimensions or a clean sample; we return repeatable parts.

Process & Utility Gaskets

  • Pipe flange gaskets, table flanges and custom bolt patterns
  • Pump, valve and instrument gaskets from rubber, cork and fibre
  • Inspection cover gaskets and manway seals
  • Gaskets for HVAC, ductwork and air handling units

Enclosure & Equipment Seals

  • Door and panel gaskets for cabinets and enclosures
  • Window and lens seals for lighting and displays
  • Custom compression seals from foam and sponge rubber
  • Thin metal shims and spacers for alignment

Capabilities for Gasket & Seal Cutting

Accuracy, Repeatability & Sheet Size

  • Digital knife and laser cutting suited to complex gasket geometries.
  • Sheets up to 1500mm x 3000mm across rubber, foam, cork, PTFE and plastics.
  • Metal gasket and shim cutting within our standard thickness range.
  • Repeatable results for OEM gasket sets and spare parts programmes.

We can work directly from your CAD files, conversions from existing drawings or reverse engineered scans and samples where originals are not available.

Edge Quality & Part Handling

  • Clean cut edges that sit flush between flanges and mating surfaces.
  • Minimal heat input when using knife cutting on sensitive materials.
  • Options for small witness tabs to keep sets together in transit.
  • Kitting, bagging and labelling by part number, set or equipment ID.

Careful handling and packing is critical with thin gasket materials. We plan kitting and packaging to match how your team will install or assemble the parts.

Why gasket & seal buyers work with us

Flat cutting specialists

Our workflow is built around flat panels and sheet goods. That makes us efficient at cutting gaskets and seals from standard sheet sizes, even when you need a mix of materials and thicknesses in one job.

Support for urgent and planned work

Shutdowns and breakdowns do not wait. We can prioritise urgent gasket and seal jobs where timing is critical, while also supporting longer-term programmes with stable pricing and repeatable part libraries.

Easy re-ordering of sets

Once a gasket set is proven on site, we can treat it as a kit with a single reference. Future orders simply call up that kit ID, simplifying purchasing and inventory.

Flexible on material supply

Use your existing gasket material suppliers and send us sheets or rolls for cutting, or talk to us about standard rubber, foam and plastic grades for more general service applications.

Design Tips for Flat Gaskets & Seals

A few practical guidelines help ensure gaskets seal correctly, are easy to install and can be reproduced reliably when you need more.

Geometry and Tolerances

  • Confirm bolt circle diameters, hole sizes and counts from current standards or hardware.
  • Allow realistic tolerances so bolts and studs pass easily without forcing or reaming.
  • Use generous radii instead of sharp internal corners where possible to avoid stress points.
  • For very thin gaskets, consider witness tabs or carriers if handling is an issue.

Material Selection

  • Match material to service conditions — temperature, pressure, media and movement.
  • Use closed cell foams for compression seals and weather strips; denser sheet for flange gaskets.
  • For aggressive chemicals, consider PTFE or consult your material supplier's compatibility charts.
  • Standardise materials and thicknesses where possible to simplify stocking and re-ordering.

How we work with gasket & seal customers

A simple process that covers everything from one-off emergency gaskets to ongoing OEM supply.

1. Brief & data

Share drawings, CAD files, samples or scanned outlines, plus material preferences and service conditions.

2. Pricing & options

We price based on material type, thickness, sheet usage (up to 1500mm x 3000mm), cutting time and kitting requirements, highlighting any optimisation opportunities.

3. Files & nesting

Files are checked, adjusted if required and nested to maximise yield and keep gasket sets grouped logically.

4. Cutting & QC

Parts are cut on the most suitable machine, inspected against critical dimensions and kitted or bagged according to your requirements.

5. Delivery & re-orders

Gaskets are dispatched to your site or warehouse. Proven designs are catalogued so future orders are simply a matter of quoting the part or kit ID.

FAQ

In many cases, yes, we can supply common rubber, foam and plastic gasket materials. For specialised branded products or where you have an existing supplier, you are welcome to send us sheet or roll stock for cutting instead.

Our machines are set up for flat sheets up to 1500mm x 3000mm. If your material comes in wider or longer rolls, we can look at trimming or plan cuts to make the best use of each sheet while staying within our working area.

Often yes. We can measure and recreate the profile from a reasonably intact sample, and in some cases digitise outlines. However, whenever possible, confirmed dimensions from flanges or equipment drawings provide a more reliable basis for repeat work.

No. Our focus is flat gasket and seal profiles cut from sheet and roll materials. Moulded and extruded seals, o-rings and custom profiles are outside the scope of this cutting service.

Pricing is based on material type and thickness, sheet usage, cutting time and kitting or packaging requirements. Larger batches and repeat kits are significantly more cost-effective on a per-part basis than one-off emergency gaskets.
