Plasma Cutting Services
Whether you need steel plates profiled for fabrication or aluminum blanks cut to spec, EDM of Garland delivers fast, accurate CNC plasma cutting. Serving DFW manufacturers locally, Texas statewide, and shipping nationwide when your project demands it.
Need Plasma Cutting Without the Runaround?
If you’re sourcing plasma cutting services in Dallas or anywhere in Texas, you’ve probably dealt with these headaches:
- Local shops are backed up for weeks and your project timeline keeps slipping
- You need precision profiles, not rough cuts that require hours of grinding and cleanup
- Quote turnaround takes forever and you’re stuck waiting just to know if the job is feasible
- Shipping adds complexity when your preferred vendor is across the state or out of region
- Your parts need secondary operations and coordinating multiple vendors eats your schedule
- Material thickness varies job to job and not every shop can handle your full range
Here’s the good news: EDM of Garland runs CNC plasma with the same precision mindset we bring to wire EDM and sinker EDM. We quote fast, cut accurate, and ship anywhere your project needs to go.
What is Plasma Cutting?
Plasma cutting uses a high-velocity jet of ionized gas to slice through electrically conductive metals. An electrical arc superheats compressed air or gas to 20,000°F+, creating a focused plasma stream that melts material along the cut path while blowing it away cleanly.
CNC control guides the torch with computer precision. You get accurate profiles, clean holes, and complex shapes with minimal heat distortion. The process handles everything from thin sheet metal to plate over an inch thick.
How it compares to EDM: Plasma cuts faster and costs less per inch on thicker materials. EDM delivers tighter tolerances and finer finishes on precision parts. The application determines which process fits your job.
What Plasma Cutting Makes Possible
Cut Thick Plate Fast
Profile steel, stainless, and aluminum plate efficiently. Plasma moves through 1/2″ steel faster than laser and without the gas costs of oxy-fuel. Get your blanks and profiles without blowing your timeline or budget.
Handle Multiple Materials
Steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and other conductive metals all cut on the same equipment. Switch materials job to job without retooling delays.
Produce Clean, Weldable Edges
Properly tuned plasma delivers edges ready for welding or light finishing. Minimal dross, minimal grinding, minimal secondary labor eating into your margins.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can you plasma cut?
We cut carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and other electrically conductive metals. The process works on any material that conducts electricity.
How does plasma cutting compare to laser cutting?
Plasma cuts thicker materials faster and more cost-effectively. Laser delivers finer detail and tighter tolerances on thinner materials. For plate work and fabrication profiles, plasma typically offers the best value.
What tolerances can plasma cutting hold?
Standard plasma work holds approximately ±0.030″ on material under 1″ thick. Tighter tolerances require EDM or secondary machining. We’ll confirm achievable tolerances when we quote your job.
Do you ship outside of DFW?
Yes. We serve all of Texas and ship nationwide in the lower 48. Local DFW customers benefit from quick pickup or delivery. Out-of-area jobs ship via freight carrier.
What files do you need to quote a job?
We accept DXF, DWG, STEP, IGES, and PDF files. Include material type, thickness, quantity, and any tolerance or finish requirements for accurate pricing.
Can you combine plasma cutting with EDM work?
Absolutely. We handle multi-process jobs under one roof. Plasma-cut blanks with wire EDM features, secondary sinker operations on profiles, whatever your part requires.
