Laser Cutting & Beveling

Leeco Steel’s superior laser cutting services provide fast, precise, high-quality cuts for applications requiring tight tolerances, clean edges and repeatable accuracy on plate up to 4” thick. Integrated beveling capabilities further reduce downstream fabrication time by preparing parts for welding and assembly before they arrive at your facility.

Oxy Fuel Cutting

Oxy fuel cutting is a cost-effective solution for processing thicker carbon steel plate up to 14” thick. This process allows Leeco to produce large parts and heavy plate components for demanding applications including construction equipment, infrastructure projects, storage tanks and energy-related fabrication.
