Tube Laser Cutting
At The Metal Shop, our Mazak Fabri-Gear 150 delivers advanced tube laser cutting with true 5-axis capability, enabling compound angles and precision cuts beyond the limits of standard 2-axis machines. We can process tubes up to 6″ in diameter and lengths up to 24–26 feet, handling shapes including round, square, rectangular, I-beam, channel, and angle profiles.
Material & Applications
Steel, stainless steel, and aluminum cutting capability.
Specialized expertise in aluminum structures, supported by close collaboration with SigmaTube software developers to expand aluminum tube cutting functionality.
Advantages of Tube Laser Cutting
Speed & Accuracy: Miter joints and complex geometries that once took hours with a band saw are now completed in minutes.
Automation & Efficiency: With SigmaTube software, entire 3D assemblies can be imported, nested, and programmed rapidly—reducing lead times and eliminating manual layout errors.
Precision & Repeatability: Consistent, high-quality cuts ensure parts are ready for assembly with minimal secondary processing.
Our tube laser system streamlines fabrication, reduces production time, and ensures reliable results—making it the smart choice for high-accuracy structural projects.
The Metal Shop was started in 2002 by Duane Swift. After spending 30 years in the Navy and working for another exhibit company, the opportunity to start a small business was offered.
