Mild steel thickness guide

We cut flat mild steel / carbon steel sheet and plate only. Use this as a quick reference for the most common thickness ranges we process on our fibre laser for clean, low-burr parts up to 15 mm.

Internal mild / carbon steel production focus

Mild steel type	Typical thickness range
Sheet for general fabrication & light brackets	1.0–3 mm (laser cut)
Plate for structural brackets & base plates	4–15 mm (laser cut)
Perforated / patterned mild steel sheet	1–4 mm (laser cut)
Checker / tread plate (where suitable)	3–8 mm (laser cut, job-dependent)

These ranges reflect our most common mild / carbon steel work for flat cutting only. If you have unusual grades, thicker plate or coated product, talk to an expert so we can confirm feasibility.

Processes & Materials

Fibre laser cutting of flat mild steel / carbon steel sheet and plate
Oxygen-assisted cutting for thicker plate and heavier sections
Fine features for slots, bolt holes, tabs and profiles
Job-dependent: laser welding of mild steel assemblies

Typical Thickness Range

Laser cut mild steel sheet — 1.0–10 mm
Laser cut mild steel plate — 10–15 mm (job-dependent)
Perforated / decorative sheet — 1–4 mm

Ranges shown cover our standard mild / carbon steel work for flat parts only. Heavier plate, specialty grades or coated products may need to be reviewed case-by-case.

Accuracy

Dimensional tolerance: typically ±0.2–0.4 mm depending on thickness and part size
Laser kerf: ~0.2 mm; compensated in nesting and programming
Repeatability suitable for production runs and OEM mild steel / carbon steel work

Finish

Controlled heat-affected zone for parts that will be welded or machined
Clean edges for fabrication, with optional deburring on request
Parts supplied ready for your own blasting, priming or powder coating

Sheet Size

Standard bed up to 3000 × 1500 mm. Larger assemblies can be produced in segments and joined. We optimise nesting to reduce waste and keep unit costs competitive on mild steel jobs.

Why use our mild steel cutting service?

Set up for real-world fabrication

We cut flat mild steel / carbon steel parts that go straight into fabrication — predictable edge quality, sensible tolerances and profiles designed to work with welders, fitters and installers.

Prototype to production

From one-off brackets and plates to repeat batches, we store your CAD files so future runs are fast to quote and consistent to manufacture.

Trade-friendly workflow

Clear communication, practical DFM feedback and realistic lead times. Ideal for metal shops, builders, sign companies and OEMs who need mild steel parts on a regular basis.

Smart nesting & material use

We nest mild steel parts tightly to maximise sheet yield, reduce scrap and sharpen pricing on repeat jobs and larger batches.

More about mild steel laser cutting

Open the items below for detailed guidance on mild steel / carbon steel laser cutting, file preparation and design tips for flat mild steel parts.

Fibre laser is ideal for mild steel cutting because it combines high cutting speeds with excellent edge quality across common sheet and plate thicknesses up to around 15 mm. Oxygen or nitrogen assist is used depending on thickness and finish requirements, giving fabricators clean parts that weld and fit easily.

For reliable mild steel sheet cutting, keep minimum feature sizes in line with material thickness, avoid very thin webs and allow reasonable clearances on slots and holes. Hole-to-edge spacing around 1–1.5× thickness is a sensible starting point for plates that will be welded or bolted.

Mild steel is the workhorse for fabrication and construction — base plates, cleats, gussets, brackets, stiffeners and connection plates are all common laser cut parts. It is also widely used for machinery guards, support frames and general fabrication work where strength and cost matter.

DXF and DWG are the fastest formats for mild steel laser cutting Sydney projects. Keep all geometry 1:1 in millimetres, remove duplicate or overlapping lines and check that any text is converted to outlines. Clean files mean faster quoting and fewer surprises in production.

Pricing for our mild steel cutting service is driven by material thickness, cut length, pierce count, nesting efficiency and quantity. Most mild steel laser cutting Sydney jobs dispatch in 1–5 business days once drawings and material are confirmed, with urgent options available on request.

Whether you need a small run of brackets or a full set of structural plates, our mild steel / carbon steel laser cutting service is set up for fast quoting, clean parts and reliable lead times. Upload your files or contact us if you would like help optimising the design before cutting.

Most customers take flat parts to their preferred finisher for galvanising, priming, painting or powder coating. If you know the coating system in advance, you can design slots, holes and drain details accordingly. Let us know if a specific coating is planned so we can highlight any design concerns.
