Sheet cutting is a service that cuts aluminum and stainless steel sheets to the exact dimensions of the customer's technical drawings, using specialized sheet-cutting machines to ensure precise tolerances — suitable for items requiring a tight fit, without repeated on-site trimming.
- Cut to exact drawing dimensions with precise tolerances using dedicated sheet-cutting machines.
- Suitable for facade installation, gutters, and mechanical parts requiring high precision.
- Applies to aluminum and stainless steel sheet across various grades and thicknesses.
- Can be combined with the service CNC mechanical fabrication for more complex parts.

What is cutting sheets to size?
Unlike slitting (dividing continuous width), sheet cutting involves cutting flat aluminum/stainless steel sheet into pieces of specific length × width per technical drawing — typically used for parts requiring precise assembly, such as facade cladding panels, gutters, partitions, and machine components.
Sheet cutting order process
- Request Received — the customer submits drawings or specific dimensions via the form/hotline.
- Solution Consultation — checking material grade and thickness suited to the actual application.
- Quotation & confirmation — a detailed quotation including CQ/CO certificates.
- Cutting & Delivery — cut using specialized machines to exact tolerances, delivered according to project schedule.
When to Choose the Sheet Cutting Service
- Facade and gutter installation requires pre-cut sheets in exact sizes for fast installation.
- Mechanical parts that require precise tolerances, where no rework or re-cutting is wanted at the workshop or job site.
- Large-volume orders that require consistent dimensions across sheets.
What to prepare before placing an order
- Technical drawing or specific length × width × thickness dimensions.
- Desired material grade (aluminum or stainless steel, specific grade) — if unsure, Kim Khi 506's technical team provides free consultation.
- Number of sheets to be cut — you can estimate the weight in advance using the material weight calculator.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does sheet cutting differ from coil slitting?
Slitting divides material along a continuous width (into sheets or narrower coils); sheet cutting cuts a flat sheet into specific length × width dimensions per the drawing.
What is the sheet cutting tolerance?
The specific tolerance depends on the thickness and material grade — it is clearly confirmed during the technical quotation stage before fabrication.
Do you accept small (single-piece) cutting orders?
Yes, send your request via Services page for specific advice based on the actual quantity.
Do I need to send a CAD drawing, or is providing dimensions enough?
Either works — a technical drawing helps confirm details faster, but simply providing length × width × thickness is enough for a quotation and fabrication.
Do sheet-cutting materials come with certificates?
Yes, all materials come with quality and origin certificates (CQ/CO).
Conclusion
Cutting sheets to size shortens construction time and ensures precision for facades, gutters, and mechanical work. See more fabrication service or aluminum and stainless steel sheet products. Need advice on suitable dimensions/material, contact us or call 090.995.2728.
