Omaha's Leading Plasma Cutting Services

The Omaha-Council Bluffs metropolitan area has approximately 900 manufacturing establishments, many of which offer plasma cutting services. The area employs about 25,000 manufacturing workers, ensuring a skilled workforce for your project.

Plasma cutting can sever steel up to 6" thick or more with high-amperage systems. Quality cutting (smooth edges, tight tolerances) is typically achieved on material from 0.25" to 2" thick. For material under 0.25", laser cutting is usually preferred.

Laser cutting offers higher precision and better edge quality on thin materials (<0.5"). Plasma cutting is faster and more economical on thick materials (>0.5"), has lower equipment costs, and can cut through surface contaminants. Many shops use both technologies.

High-definition (HD) plasma uses a more constricted arc with higher energy density, producing cut quality that approaches laser cutting. HD plasma achieves tolerances of ±0.005" and smooth, nearly dross-free edges on material up to 1" thick.

Yes, plasma cuts all electrically conductive metals including aluminum, stainless steel, copper, and brass. Different gas mixtures are optimized for each material — nitrogen/hydrogen for stainless, nitrogen for aluminum, oxygen for carbon steel.
