Hello, what is the average accuracy for sheet steel laser cut parts? thanks It depends on the type and thickness of the material. On thin steel, under ..060", +/-.002" can be done with some care, but we usually quote +/- .005". Thick stuff like 3/4" A36 gets a taper, so +/- .010 or even .015. David R.

Stainless and mild steel laser cut _much_ faster than aluminum, so you
should get a break on pricing. Lucky Strike wrote: what is the typical cost of cutting mild steel 0.25" per inch vs cutting aluminum or stainless?
