We exclusively use FlashCut CNC software. Unlike other packages, FlashCut offers advanced features such as bevel cutting, along with a highly intuitive user interface. It's one of the most well-supported control platforms in the industry, making it both powerful and user-friendly.

Bevel cutting can save you hours of manual prep work and significantly improve your weld quality. With beveled edges, all that’s usually needed is a quick surface clean before welding. The benefits include:‭

‭• Better weld penetration ‭
• Stronger joint integrity ‭
‭• Fewer weld defects ‭
• Less post-machining work

Our machines are compatible with a wide range of materials, including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and alloys—as long as the material fits the size and weight specs of the system.

The PD‑10 is designed to cut, bevel, and engrave round, square, and rectangular tubing up to 10" x 10" and 800 lbs. in weight — all with precision.
