The beauty of steel works lies in how perfectly the edges are rounded and cut into lovely shapes

without any hassle. First step to working with steel or aluminum or any other metal, is to get the right equipment to cut the metal. Steel cutting can either be done at home or with the help of a professional.

What are the 5 ways of cutting steel?

1. Use of circular saw: It may not be the most used equipment but apparently it has been realised, with the right kind of blade, circular saw is great at giving the shape one is looking for, especially for small home projects. Yes, you do need to remember to wear your gear before working with this tool as sharp, small pieces of the metal can fly and hit you. To avoid accidents, do not forget to take adequate precautions.

2. Use of Flame Cutting Method: For small projects, Flame cutting with gas or torch or with an oxygen tank can also be used. Remarkable feature of flame cutting is, it can penetrate through thick metals and can be done in the field. With professional guidance, it is easier to achieve the results with this methodology.

3. Use of Grinding Disc: When thickness of steel or metal is a challenge, then a metal fabricator or contractor, take use of grinding disc. They balance the disc with the right type of rotary or abrasive disc which can do the job efficiently.

4. Use of Plasma Cutting: Professional metal fabricators use this method for bulk orders. It is comparatively low cost and does the work at a very high speed. It brings down overall expense and helps in achieving a neat metal cutting work of shaping steel or other metals in NY or Jamaica.

5. Use of Oscillating Tool: It is a great tool for plumbing purposes as cutting pipes or may be bolts and nails or several other metal materials. This is helpful to professional cutters when it is tough to fit large tools.
