Plasma systems have lower operating costs compared to high-powered laser machines. That cost efficiency allows us to provide competitive pricing to customers while maintaining precision and repeatability.
For many structural and heavy plate applications, laser cutting offers no practical advantage over plasma — especially when cutting thicker material. Plasma cutting delivers clean, accurate cuts at a lower overall cost, making it an ideal solution for contractors, steel fabricators, and equipment builders who need durable components without inflated pricing.
If your project involves thicker steel plate, structural parts, or heavy-duty fabrication, CNC plasma cutting is often the most efficient and cost-effective process.

​
CNC Plasma Cutting vs. Laser Cutting – Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between plasma cutting and laser cutting?
Plasma cutting uses a high-velocity ionized gas stream to cut electrically conductive metals such as steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Basically, it creates a metal arc, causing the metal to become multant, and then uses compressed air to blow the multant material out in a computer numerically controlled path. Laser cutting uses a concentrated light beam to melt or vaporize material.
Laser cutting is often used for thinner materials and fine detail work. Plasma cutting is highly effective for thicker steel plate and structural components. For many commercial and industrial fabrication projects, plasma cutting provides excellent accuracy with greater cost efficiency.
Is plasma cutting cheaper than laser cutting?
In many applications, yes. Plasma cutting typically has lower operating costs compared to high-powered laser systems. That efficiency allows shops using CNC plasma tables to offer competitive pricing, especially for structural steel and thicker material.
For projects involving heavy plate, base plates, gussets, brackets, and reinforcement components, plasma cutting is often the more cost-effective solution without sacrificing performance.
Is laser cutting more accurate than plasma cutting?
Laser cutting can achieve tighter tolerances on thin material and intricate detail work. However, modern CNC plasma cutting systems provide accurate, repeatable cuts suitable for structural steel fabrication, commercial construction, equipment repair, and industrial applications.
For most structural and heavy-duty metal fabrication projects in Bend and Central Oregon, plasma cutting delivers the precision required for proper fit and installation.
Which is better for cutting thick steel – plasma or laser?
Plasma cutting is typically better suited for thicker steel plate. Our CNC plasma table can cut steel up to 3/4” thick, making it ideal for structural base plates, heavy brackets, flanges, and reinforcement components.
While laser cutting can handle certain thicknesses, plasma is often more practical and efficient for heavy steel fabrication.
When should I choose plasma cutting instead of laser cutting?
Plasma cutting is a strong choice when:
-
Cutting thicker steel plate
-
Producing structural components
-
Fabricating heavy-duty brackets or base plates
-
Prioritizing cost efficiency
-
Requiring fast turnaround for commercial projects
If your project involves structural steel fabrication in Bend, Redmond, or Central Oregon, CNC plasma cutting is often the most practical and economical option.
Does plasma cutting produce clean edges?
Yes. CNC plasma cutting produces clean, consistent cuts suitable for welding, forming, and assembly. For structural and fabrication applications, plasma-cut edges are fully appropriate and widely used in commercial and industrial projects.
If edge refinement is required for a specific application, secondary finishing can be performed as part of the fabrication process.
Do you offer both plasma and laser cutting?
We specialize in CNC plasma cutting for structural and heavy-duty applications. Our plasma system allows us to cut thicker materials efficiently and cost-effectively for contractors and fabricators throughout Central Oregon.
If a project requires specialized laser cutting, we can discuss options based on your specific needs.

​
CNC Press Brake Bending – Frequently Asked Questions
​
What is CNC press brake bending?
CNC press brake bending is a precision metal forming process that uses a hydraulic press brake to bend steel or aluminum into specific angles and shapes. Computer numerical control (CNC) allows accurate, repeatable bends for structural steel components, brackets, channels, and custom fabricated parts.
Our CNC press brake in Bend, Oregon provides controlled, consistent metal forming for commercial, industrial, and structural applications throughout Central Oregon.
​​
How thick of steel can you bend with a press brake?
Our CNC press brake offers up to 100 tons of forming capacity with bends up to 6 feet wide. Thickness capacity depends on material type, bend length, and configuration, but we regularly bend structural steel plate and formed components for fabrication and construction projects.
If you are unsure whether your material can be formed, contact our Bend shop to review your project specifications.​
What materials can be bent on a press brake?
We provide press brake bending for:
-
Mild steel
-
Structural steel
-
Stainless steel
-
Aluminum
Press brake forming is commonly used for brackets, base plates, channels, reinforcement components, and custom fabricated assemblies.
​​
What is the difference between CNC press brake bending and manual bending?
CNC press brake bending uses programmed controls to achieve precise angles and repeatable results. Manual bending methods are less consistent and typically used for simpler or smaller applications.
For structural steel fabrication and commercial projects in Bend and Central Oregon, CNC press brake bending ensures accuracy, repeatability, and professional-quality results.
​​
When should I use press brake bending instead of welding multiple pieces?
Press brake forming is often stronger and more efficient than welding multiple flat pieces together. A single bent component can reduce welds, improve structural integrity, and save fabrication time.
For brackets, structural supports, and formed steel components, press brake bending is frequently the most practical and durable solution.
​​
Do you offer both cutting and bending services?
Yes. We provide CNC plasma cutting and CNC press brake bending in-house at our Bend, Oregon fabrication shop. This allows us to cut flat steel plate and then form it into finished components without outsourcing, improving turnaround time and quality control.
We also offer welding and full installation services as a licensed Oregon CCB contractor.​
Do you serve areas outside of Bend?
Yes. While our CNC press brake bending and metal forming equipment operates exclusively in our Bend shop — as the machine weighs over 14,000 pounds and is permanently anchored to the floor — we provide fabrication support for projects throughout Central Oregon.
Clients from Bend, Redmond, Sisters, La Pine, Prineville, Sunriver, Terrebonne, Tumalo, and surrounding communities regularly work with our shop for precision metal forming and structural fabrication services.
