What Are the Different Types of Metal Cutting Machines?

Mechanical cutting is to separate metals through mechanical force (such as shearing, grinding, sawing), which is applicable to a variety of metal materials and is relatively simple to operate.

Mechanical cutting equipment includes metal shears, band saws, circular saws, and grinding machines. The following are sample images of the devices:

Thermal cutting uses high temperature to melt, burn or gasify metal to achieve cutting. It is suitable for thick plates and complex shapes, and the accuracy varies greatly.Thermal cutting equipment includes gas cutting machine (flame cutting), plasma cutting machine, laser cutting machine, water jet cutting machine (cold cutting).

The following are sample pictures of thermal cutting:

Other special cutting equipment includes a wire cutting machine and an ultrasonic cutting machine.
