How Does Fiber Laser Cutting Work?
Fiber laser cutting is a thermal cutting process that uses a highly focused laser beam, transmitted through a fiber optic cable, to melt and vaporise material with pinpoint accuracy. This laser beam is generated by diodes, then amplified through optical fibers and directed to the cutting head.
Because of this advanced technology, the result is incredibly precise cutting with a narrow kerf - producing cleaner cuts, burr-free edges, and minimal thermal distortion. Laser cutting delivers high cutting speed and low material waste, making it ideal for a wide range of industrial applications using different materials.
Kerf’s laser cutting machines are equipped with auto-focus laser heads, intelligent height control, and powerful software to optimise cutting and engraving across metal types — from thin sheet to heavy plate.

oxy-Fuel
Cutting Machines
For the best quality and the most precise cuts on thicker material, OXY-FUEL profile cutting machines are certainly an excellent option to explore. At Kerf, your first choice for CNC cutting machine manufacturing, we can provide a wide range of different OXY-FUEL cutting machine options. Oxy-fuel cutting is a method that has been around for more than a century, dating back to 1907. However, it is still widely used today and is a critical technology in many sectors.
To cut metals, oxy-fuel cutting uses a mix of fuel gases and oxygen. A number of fuels may be used, with propane being the most popular. Speak to Kerf about our profile cutting machines to find out more.
Fiber Laser
Cutting Machines
Kerf’s fiber laser systems are engineered for high-speed profiling of mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium. With their low operating costs, reduced maintenance, and excellent edge quality, they’re ideal for fabricators and manufacturers who need accuracy without compromise.
Whether you're cutting thin sheets or intricate profiles, our fiber laser machines offer unbeatable repeatability and reliability.
Plasma
Cutting Machines
Plasma cutters pass an electric arc through gas (often compressed air), which converts into a plasma arc that is used to cut through the metal. The interaction of gases, an electric arc, and a concentrated area of pressure within the cutting torch results in an electrically conductive ionised gas, commonly known as plasma.
Waterjet
Cutting Machines
Not only can this cutting method get through almost any material you ask it to, it also leaves you with little to no waste, and it is an extremely accurate profile cutting method. When it comes to choosing a cutting system that will offer you everything you need, waterjet cutting ticks all the boxes.
Waterjet cutting employs an abrasive grit carried by an ultra-high-pressure stream of water. This results in a smooth, precision-cut surface without a heat-affected zone.
Waterjet is the most adaptable method since it can cut nearly any material; even carbon steel is no match for it. Waterjet cutting is an extremely accurate process; It features a narrow kerf width, which allows for the cutting of delicate contours and the production of high-tolerance components.
Applications of Fiber Laser Cutting
Kerf’s fiber laser cutting machines are used across multiple sectors, with proven success in:
- Sheet metal fabrication and production
- HVAC, construction, and building cladding
- Signage, decorative and architectural models
- Aerospace and automotive components
- Electrical enclosures and brackets
- Prototyping, engraving, and batch production
They deliver quality, flexibility, and repeatability across different materials and industrial requirements.

Fiber Laser cutting Machines FAQs
1. What materials can a fiber laser cutting machine process?
Kerf’s fiber laser machines are designed for high-speed metal cutting across various materials, including stainless steel, mild steel, aluminium, copper, brass, titanium, and nickel alloys. These systems are ideal for both thin and thick metals.
2. How thick can a laser cutting machine cut?
Depending on the laser power, our machines can cut metal from under 1mm up to 40mm. Higher wattage options offer more power, enabling faster cutting speeds and improved quality on thicker material.
3. Can laser cutters do engraving as well?
Yes — fiber lasers offer integrated engraving capabilities. They can engrave part numbers, serial numbers, and logos with high precision on metal parts, making them perfect for traceability and branding in industrial settings.
4. Is a fiber laser suitable for small businesses or prototyping?
Absolutely. These compact yet powerful machines are perfect for small workshops, startups, and short-run production. They’re safe, cost-effective, and easy to program for quick design changes.
5. What are the ongoing running costs?
Fiber lasers are among the most efficient cutting machines available. With low consumable and energy use, they offer a lower cost per part compared to some other cutting methods.
6. What makes a fiber laser different from a CO2 laser cutter?
A fiber laser uses solid-state technology for faster, more efficient cutting of metal. CO2 systems are better suited to non-metallic materials like wood and acrylic. Fiber lasers require less maintenance and deliver better results on metals.
7. What size machine should I choose?
That depends on your typical sheet size, production volume, and job requirements. Kerf offers multiple configurations. We’ll help you select the best combination of laser power, working area, and automation for your needs.
8. Can a fiber laser cut non-metallic materials?
Fiber lasers are optimised for cutting and engraving metals. For cutting non-metallic materials like plastics or wood, a CO2 laser system is more suitable. Our team can advise based on your specific materials.
