Cutting Machines from Kerf Developments

Oxy-fuel is one of the most established cutting methods in the industry, trusted for its ability to cut very thick steel cleanly and cost-effectively. In fact, oxy-fuel cutting has been used for over a century and remains a vital technology for many sectors today.

At Kerf, we supply rugged, high-quality oxy-fuel cutting machines capable of handling mild steel up to 1000 mm thick. Using a mix of fuel gases and oxygen — typically acetylene or propane — the flame and oxygen jet combine to create a clean, sharp cut.

We offer multiple configurations with proven torch technology and robust gantry systems, all backed by UK and Ireland based local support.

Plasma cutting is a fast and flexible solution for cutting electrically conductive metals such as steel, aluminium and stainless steel. The process works by passing an electrical arc through a compressed gas, creating a high-temperature plasma stream that melts the metal while the gas blows away the molten material.

Compared to laser cutting, plasma offers quicker throughput on thicker materials and the ability to process larger plate sizes, and it is highly effective across a wide range of industries.

Kerf’s plasma range includes entry-level systems through to high-definition machines with UltraSharp technology. Whether you need to cut mild steel plate or produce bolt-ready holes in structural parts, Kerf’s plasma systems are engineered for consistency, precision and speed.

Looking for eco-friendly cutting that handles nearly any material? Waterjet cutting is ideal for manufacturers who need precise results without thermal distortion.

Our waterjet systems use ultra-high pressure water combined with abrasive to mechanically cut through metals, composites, stone and more. This method creates a smooth, accurate edge, and it’s especially valuable for materials that don’t respond well to heat — like abrasion resistant steel, aerospace aluminium, glass or ceramics.

Waterjet cutting is one of the most versatile profile cutting methods available today, capable of producing intricate curves and tight tolerances without heat-affected zones.

For fine sheet metal and high-speed production, fiber laser delivers unbeatable precision, accuracy and edge quality.

Kerf's fiber laser machines use a focused laser beam to vaporise and cut material with minimal distortion. Ideal for thinner gauge steel, stainless steel, aluminium and non-ferrous metals, fiber laser is fast, repeatable and integrates well into production lines.

Perfect for fabrication, structural and fine part production.
