What we do not do — Cutting only: no bending, tapping, welding, powder coat or anodizing, so a part that needs a bend needs a second shop. No brass, copper or acrylic. No international shipping, no local pickup. The quoting system rejects STEP files.
How a quote is priced — On cut path length plus sheet usage. There is no machine-hour rate to quote. Minimum order $150.
What happens after you upload — A quoting engineer reviews the file, and nothing is cut until you approve the price in writing. Across 612 orders shipped January to March 2026, our dispatch records show a median of 3 business days from approved quote to shipment. That is a median across those orders, not a date for yours.
Who works with us — Ridgeline Cycles, who build small-batch e-bike frames in Portland: "We moved our dropout blanks to Kerfline because they would quote a 40-part run without asking us to commit to 400."
Action wording — Button: Upload a DXF or DWG. Under it: No account, no card. A quoting engineer replies with a firm price by the end of the next business day.
FAQ
- Can you cut a part longer than 120 in? No. 120 x 60 in is the sheet, and splitting a longer part into sections is a design change we do not make for you.
- Do you cut acrylic or brass? No. Mild steel, stainless 304 and 316, and aluminum.
- Can I send a STEP file? No. Export to DXF or DWG.
Relevance-versus-conversion note — The first screen is a spec block rather than a value proposition because this searcher disqualifies before evaluating, so the button sits beside the specs rather than below the argument. Answering "can you cut my part" in one read costs a screen of persuasion and saves both sides a quote cycle on work you cannot take. Separately: "laser cutting cost per hour" is a different question this page cannot answer honestly, because you do not price by the hour. Those searches need a page explaining cut path pricing, and its action should not be the upload.
Proof requested — A second named customer outside cycling. How the +/- 0.005 in tolerance is verified. Whether the 612-order median still holds, since the page will outlive Q1 2026.
Refused — No customer count, rating or success rate: none were supplied. No turnaround promise, per your constraint. "Precision" left out, having no number behind it. No scarcity or deadline language.
