Frequently Asked Questions

What thicknesses do you cut?

We laser cut sheet metals from 0.5mm to 3.0mm thick, depending on the material. Each metal type has its own optimal range — get in touch if you need advice on cut quality. We are specialists at thin sheet laser profiling.

Do you cut embossed or textured metal?

Yes — we regularly cut checker plate, stucco aluminium, and other textured finishes.

Can I order just materials without cutting?

Our focus at MS Laser Services is laser cutting and engraving services — we’re not a general stockist.
However, if you only need material supply without cutting, we can usually organise this through our group partners:
