Material Options
- 1095 High Carbon Steel
Strong, durable, and weather-resistant. Our best metal for cutting tools. - 4130 Chromoly
4130 Chromoly steel is a tough and versatile metal used in a variety of high-stress applications. It’s weldable, machinable, and corrosion-resistant. - 5052 Aluminum (Standard)
Our 5052 H-32 series aluminum welds beautifully, bends cleanly, and has excellent machinability. Our most versatile aluminum. - 6061 Aluminum (Aerospace)
Our 6061 T-6 series aluminum is precipitation-hardened. We like this metal for its strength, toughness, and excellent corrosion resistance. - 7075 Aluminum
Our laser-cut 7075 aluminum has excellent mechanical properties, good ductility, fatigue resistance, high strength, and toughness. - ACM
ACM (Aluminum Composite Material) is used for interior and exterior display and signage, as well as low-load part applications. We love it for its lightweight, high strength, versatility, and outdoor durability. We offer both black and white finishes. - AR400
AR400 is a “thru-hardened”, abrasion resistant, alloy wear plate. If you need a good balance of formability, weldability, toughness, and abrasion resistance, this is your metal. - AR500
AR500 abrasion-resistant steel plate is a high surface hardness metal that is excellent for excessive wear and high-impact applications. This steel is commonly used for armor plating and targets. - Brass
Unlike steel and iron, brass will not rust when exposed to the atmosphere (although it will tarnish and patina). Typical uses for brass include architectural, electrical, fasteners, consumer, and ordinance projects. - Standard Carbon Fiber
Our standard carbon fiber is lightweight and comes in a smooth matte finish. Our standard carbon fiber is a great low-cost alternative to our Aerospace Carbon. Available in 1/16″ and 1/8″ thicknesses. - Aerospace Carbon Fiber
Our aerospace carbon fiber (also known as quasi-isotropic) is sleek, lightweight, and Superman-strong. This material offers our highest strength-to-weight ratio. Perfect for drones, robotics, aircraft, and automobile applications. - Copper
110 Copper has thousands of uses over a broad range of applications due to its conductivity, corrosion resistance, and ductility. Perfect metal for creating signage, architectural elements, or jewelry. - Cor-Ten Weathering Steel
Cor-Ten weathering steel is a unique metal that naturally forms a rust-like coating that resists corrosive elements like rain, snow, fog, and ice. Creates pieces with a rustic and aged look that will also stand up to the elements. - Mild Steel
We have A36 carbon steel (mild steel) in three surface finishes based on thickness. Cold Rolled Carbon Steel, Hot Rolled Carbon Steel, and Hot Rolled Pickled and Oiled Carbon Steel (HRP&O). Mild steel is the go-to choice for fabricators, welders, machinists, prototypers, and anyone else who needs a strong, reliable part that is easy to work with. - Stainless Steel
Grade 304 stainless steel is one of the most common grades of stainless steel. It’s our favorite metal for decorative and durable parts. We offer stainless steel in regular and grained finishes. - Titanium
Titanium Grade 5 is not only our strongest metal, but it’s also very lightweight. Its corrosion resistance makes it essential for aerospace engineers and its non-toxic, non-allergenic properties have made it popular in the medical field.
Quality materials. Dead-nuts accuracy
We don’t sacrifice quality for speed. Expect super clean edges, tight tolerances and a beautifully-crafted finished product.
- Free deburring and post-processing
- Better than +/- .005” tolerances
- 80+ materials, including titanium and carbon fiber
- Free engineer review and inspection

SendCutSend.com Laser Cut Parts ~ Review
I recently took on a small project for my Polaris RZR. What would originally have been cut with a jigsaw turned into a much cleaner laser cut piece with the help of SendCutSend.com
My entire project came in at about a third of the cost of retail but the time savings and professional outcome are beyond anything I expected. Take a look and check out Sendcutsend.com for your own laser cut parts.
We rated the experience 10/10.

Nick Makes & Breaks Stuff takes a look at some of the many things he’s designed and had cut by SendCutSend…
How Much Do Custom Sheet Metal Parts Really Cost?
On the accompanying video, Jim and Jake explore the factors that influence the cost of custom sheet metal parts and offer practical tips on how to save money on various projects, whether for automotive needs, DIY projects, or larger manufacturing requirements.
Material Costs: The discussion begins with a comparison of parts made from different materials such as 5052 aluminum, HRPO (Hot Rolled, Pickled, and Oiled) mild steel, and 304 stainless steel. Despite their distinct properties, the pricing of these materials can be surprisingly similar depending on the quantity and type being purchased. For instance, while aluminum might generally be considered more expensive, it can be just as cost-effective as mild steel when bought in bulk.
Understanding Material Grades: Jim and Jake delve into the various grades of aluminum (5052, 6061, and 7075 series) and how they affect pricing. They highlight how selecting the appropriate grade can lead to savings—opting for a lower grade like 5052, when the additional strength of 6061 isn’t necessary, can be more economical.
Complexity and Cutting Time: The complexity of a part, including its geometry, directly impacts machine time and, consequently, the cost. The video illustrates this by comparing a simple part to a more complex one, explaining how added cutting and deburring increase the overall price.
Saving Money on Custom Sheet Metal Parts
Choosing the Right Material for the Job: Selecting the correct material for a project is crucial to managing costs. For example, while stainless steel may have a higher upfront cost due to its corrosion resistance, it can save money in the long run by eliminating the need for additional coatings or replacements. The video also discusses materials like G90 zinc-plated steel, which can be used without extra finishing, offering further savings.
Quantity Discounts: Jim and Jake explain how ordering in larger quantities can significantly reduce the cost per part. For example, a single small part might cost $29, but ordering 10 can bring the price down to as low as $3 each. Once the machine is set up, producing additional parts is quick and easy, allowing these savings to be passed on.
Minimizing Waste: Efficient design in terms of size and shape can help reduce material waste, lowering costs. The company handles all the scrap and waste, but designing parts that nest well together can further help keep costs down, savings that are passed on to the customer.
All-Inclusive Pricing
No Hidden Costs: The quoted price on SendCutSend.com includes everything—cutting, deburring, and even shipping. With two facilities across the country, parts typically arrive within a day or two, with no extra charges at checkout.
Additional Services: For projects requiring more than just cutting, additional services like bending, tapping, and countersinking are available, also benefiting from quantity discounts. The more operations needed, the cheaper each operation becomes, making it cost-effective to order in volume.
Real-World Examples
Custom Projects: The video showcases a custom part made for a personal project, breaking down the cost with and without finishing options like powder coating. Jim and Jake discuss the practicality of DIY versus professional finishing, helping viewers determine the best approach for their specific needs.
