What do we do?

Here at Willows we own and operate a 4'x8' CNC plasma table prized amongst other various fabrication tools. Everyday our tooling grows, as a small family run business of a father and 2 sons every sale is important to us. if you have the time, take it and learn a little about us and our processes, have a look below.

What is Plasma cutting?

Plasma cutting is a thermal cutting process that uses a high-velocity jet of ionized gas, known as plasma, to melt and sever metal. The process involves a plasma torch, which generates the ionized gas by passing an electric current through a gas such as oxygen, nitrogen or argon. The intense heat produced by the plasma jet allows for precise and efficient cutting of various metals, including steel, aluminum, and copper. Plasma cutting is widely used in industries such as metal fabrication, construction, and automotive for its speed, versatility, and ability to achieve clean and accurate cuts.

What can it do for YOU?

Plasma cutters are versatile tools that can be used to create a wide range of metal-based products and components. Some common applications and items that can be made using a plasma cutter include:

  1. Metal Artwork: Plasma cutting allows for intricate and detailed designs in metal, making it a popular choice for creating metal art pieces.
  2. Custom Metal Signs: Plasma cutters are often used to craft personalized and decorative metal signs for businesses, events, or homes.
  3. Metal Fabrication: Industries such as automotive, construction, and manufacturing utilize plasma cutters to fabricate metal components, frames, brackets, and other structural elements.
  4. Automotive Repairs: Plasma cutters are valuable in automotive repair and restoration, where they can be used to cut and shape metal for repairing body panels, exhaust systems, or custom modifications.
  5. HVAC Ductwork: Plasma cutters are employed in the fabrication of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) ductwork and components due to their ability to make precise cuts in sheet metal.
  6. Industrial Parts: Plasma cutting is widely used in manufacturing to create various industrial parts, including gears, flanges, and intricate components for machinery.
  7. Metal Furniture: Designers and craftsmen use plasma cutters to create unique and customized metal furniture pieces, such as tables, chairs, and decorative items.
  8. Metal Stencils and Templates: Plasma cutting is ideal for producing accurate stencils and templates used in various industries for consistent and precise replication of shapes and patterns.
  9. Architectural Elements: Plasma cutting is employed in architectural applications to create decorative metal elements for buildings, fences, and gates.
  10. Metal Prototypes: Engineers and product designers use plasma cutters to quickly prototype metal parts and test designs before mass production.

The versatility of plasma cutters makes them valuable tools in a variety of industries, enabling the efficient and precise shaping of metal for different purposes.
