Morning, can anyone recommend a good laser (or alternative) company for cutting some parts from mild steel please?

I've emailed 2 that I've used in the past and they're not responding to emails so clearly don't want the work!

Cheers

You could try Fractory.co. A Start Up that offers laser cutting and bending. Their headquarter is in UK, hopefully they also have some manufacturers available. Any way their website is very good for getting indication of costing.

They used to be brilliant & prices were ridiculously low, I don't know what on earth is going on there now, but won't be in a hurry to use them again!

Maybe "ridiculously Low" prices got them moving to better paying jobs...?

Thanks I'll give them a try, I picked up a card for a water jet cutting service in Stoneleighee med like nice helpful people - but I've lost that now!

I’ve used these guys in the past for ally and steel, did a good job on manifold flanges and engine mounts for me. Email a DoF/dog and they came back with a quote quickly (couple of days) and did the job as quoted.
