For the smallest cut size, we suggest maintaining a distance between two cut lines equal to half of the material thickness. For instance, in an 8mm plate, the smallest cutout or hole would be 4mm. Alternatively, if you opt for drilling, we can either center pierce or etch a crosshair at the hole’s location—please let us know your preference.

If you need marking or identification on a part, we can potentially etch it for you. Our industrial etching process is suitable for mild steel and stainless steel applications.
