Sheet Metal Cutting Services
At Metal Offcuts, we specialise in fast, accurate cut-to-size sheet metal using advanced NC guillotines. Our guillotine cutting service is ideal for fabricators, designers, workshops, schools and DIY projects that need clean, straight cuts on new sheet metal — never offcuts.
We cut aluminium, copper, brass, stainless steel, zinc, and Corten steel, supplying materials directly from stock and trimming them to your exact dimensions. With three industrial guillotines (2.0m, 2.5m and 3.0m capacity), we handle one-off jobs, batch runs and full project cutting lists.
For intricate shapes, circles, notches or decorative profiles, please see our dedicated laser cutting service.

Free Trimming Example (How It Works)
If you purchase a 500mm x 500mm copper sheet but need it resized to 480mm x 490mm, we’ll cut it at no extra cost. Need it divided into two 250mm pieces? That’s free too.
Guillotine Sheet Cutting & When to Use Laser Cutting
Guillotine cutting is best for straight cuts and rectangular blanks. Laser cutting is the right choice when you need shapes, holes, slots, notches or tight tolerances on profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What’s the difference between guillotine cutting and laser cutting?
Guillotine cutting gives fast, clean, straight cuts on sheet metal. Laser cutting is used when you need detailed shapes, curves, profiles or precision parts up to 3000 × 1500mm.
Q2. Can you cut both small craft pieces and large industrial panels?
Yes. We cut everything from jewellery-sized blanks and school project pieces to full 3m × 1.5m sheets using our guillotines and fibre laser.
Q3. Do you offer advice on the best cutting method?
Yes. Send a drawing, sketch or cutting list and we’ll advise whether guillotine or laser cutting is best for your material, finish and budget.
Q4. What metals can you cut to size?
We cut aluminium, copper, brass, stainless steel, zinc, and Corten steel, all supplied from new sheet metal stock.
Q5. What cutting tolerances can I expect?
Guillotine tolerances are typically ±1–3 mm depending on size and thickness. Laser cutting normally achieves around ±0.2 mm.
Q6. Do you offer free trimming on sheet metal orders bought online?
Yes. Most orders include free trimming — if you need a sheet reduced in size or divided into multiple pieces, we cut it at no extra charge.
