Plasma Cutting Services
Stainless Steel Plasma Cutting Services
At National Stainless Steel Centre (NSSC), we combine speed, precision, and versatility to deliver plasma cutting that’s ready for production. Our CNC-controlled systems cut stainless steel & mild steel with clean edges, delivering accurate profiles with reliable edge quality, with some finishing required on thicker plates to manage slag.
With over 40 years of combined expertise and fully integrated in-house fabrication, we supply parts that meet your exact requirements, whether it’s a single prototype or a high-volume run.
Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can NSSC plasma cut?
NSSC's CNC plasma cutting handles stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminium across a wide thickness range. Plasma cutting is ideal for medium to thick plate where speed matters more than ultra-fine edge quality, making it cost-effective for structural and fabrication work.
How does plasma cutting compare to laser cutting?
Plasma cuts thicker plate faster and more economically than laser, but produces a slightly rougher edge. Laser cutting is more precise on thin material with cleaner edges. NSSC offers both processes so we can recommend the right one for your project's specifications and budget.
What thickness can be plasma cut?
NSSC's plasma systems cut a wide range of plate thicknesses, particularly suited to medium and heavy-gauge material where laser becomes less efficient. For exact thickness ranges on your project, contact our team with your specifications for an accurate cutting recommendation.
Is plasma cutting accurate enough for production parts?
Yes. NSSC's CNC plasma systems deliver consistent, repeatable cuts suitable for structural components, brackets, base plates, and industrial fabrication. For tighter tolerance requirements like ready-to-weld parts, we typically recommend laser or water jet cutting instead.
What industries use NSSC's plasma cutting?
NSSC's plasma cutting serves mining, civil construction, petrochemical, agriculture, structural engineering, and heavy industry. The process is well-suited to applications where production speed and material thickness matter more than ultra-fine edge precision.
How fast is plasma cutting turnaround?
Plasma cutting is one of NSSC's fastest cutting processes. Most jobs complete within 1–3 business days. Send your DXF, DWG, or PDF drawings to info@nssc.co.za for a same-day quote and lead time confirmation on your specific project.
