The maximum cutting area of the machine is 1200 mm x 1200 mm, but it's best to keep sheet material under a metre square to ease handling. Maximum thickness varies depending on the material and the accuracy requirements but we've easily cut three inch thick mild steel. | The maximum cutting area of the machine is 1200 mm x 1200 mm, but it's best to keep sheet material under a metre square to ease handling.
