About Metal Fabrication Quotes

What is on this site

One question, "metal fabrication near me", answered with a quote form that works on the page with no account, 4 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.

• Metal fabrication cost: the eight variables that set your price: Why fabrication quotes vary so widely: material and grade, thickness, cutting method, tolerances, welding, finish, quantity and delivery, and how to compare them.
• Laser, plasma or waterjet: which cutting method for your part: How laser, plasma, waterjet and sawing compare on edge quality, thickness, cost and material, and how the cutting choice changes your fabrication quote.
• Galvanising or powder coating: choosing a finish for fabricated steel: Hot dip galvanising, powder coating, paint and duplex systems compared on protection, cost basis, lead time and the design details you must get right beforehand.
• What to send for a metal fabrication quote (and get a firm price): The information a fabricator needs to quote firmly: drawings and file formats, material and grade, tolerances, welding, finish, quantity, delivery and dates.
