Laser Bevel Cutting in Spain — 360° double bevel
We prepare your parts for welding directly during laser cutting. 360° double bevel in thicknesses up to 30 mm: fewer operations, shorter lead times and lower cost.
We are one of the few suppliers in Spain with this capability.
Bevel cutting
Laser bevel cutting: prepare parts for welding in a single operation
In the manufacture of metal structures, boilermaking and welded construction, preparing the edges for welding is a critical operation traditionally carried out after cutting, in a separate process. Laser bevel cutting changes the game: it lets you prepare the part for welding directly during cutting, in a single operation.
At Talleres Feudo we have incorporated this technology into our thick sheet laser cutting machines, becoming one of the few suppliers in Spain to offer 360° double bevel in thicknesses up to 30 mm. The result is a much faster order-to-delivery process, with less handling and a real cost saving.
Combined with our bending, robotic welding and assembly services, we offer an integrated metal transformation service, from the sheet to the finished assembly.
Concept
What exactly is bevel cutting?
Bevel cutting consists of cutting the sheet at an angle, instead of the conventional straight 90° cut. This angle creates a preparation on the edge of the part that helps the weld bead penetrate.
V bevel
An angle on one face of the sheet. The most common preparation for welded joints of medium thickness.
X bevel (double V)
An angle on both faces of the sheet. Ideal for large thicknesses welded from both sides.
K bevel
An asymmetric combination of bevels for specific joint configurations.
Y bevel
A bevel with a straight root face, combining penetration and control of the weld root.
Traditionally, these preparations were made by manual grinding, machining or bevelling machines after cutting. That means an extra operation, more time, more handling of heavy parts and more cost. With laser bevel cutting, all of this is done in a single pass on the cutting machine.
A distinctive capability
360° double bevel: what it means and why it matters
Our laser cutting machines do not just make a single bevel. They can produce a double bevel (on both faces of the sheet) and do it in 360°, that is, in every direction and contour of the part, including curves, corners and complex geometries.
- The entire perimeter of a part can be bevelled, not just the straight edges.
- Different bevel angles can be combined in different areas of the same part.
- Parts leave the machine fully prepared for welding.
- No direction limitation: the head rotates 360° to follow any contour.
This capability is something very few laser cutting suppliers currently have. Most workshops that offer laser cutting can only make straight cuts, with bevelling done as a subsequent operation. At Talleres Feudo, we integrate it directly into the cutting process.
Benefits
How much does laser bevel cutting save?
The saving happens across several stages of the manufacturing process.
Eliminates subsequent bevelling
Transport to the bevelling area, clamping each part, bevelling with a grinder or milling machine and intermediate checks all disappear. The part leaves the machine ready to weld.
Reduces lead time
By eliminating a whole intermediate operation, the lead time drops. On projects with many bevelled parts (structures, beams, profiles) the reduction can be several days.
Less handling, less risk
Thick sheets are heavy and hard to handle. Fewer operations mean fewer overhead-crane movements, less risk of knocks and lower internal logistics cost.
Greater precision and repeatability
The laser bevel is far more precise and repeatable than manual bevelling: better fit between parts, more uniform welds, and fewer rejects and reworks.
Sectors
Which sectors is laser bevel cutting ideal for?
It adds value especially where welding of thick sheet is routine.
Metal construction and structures
Beams, columns, structural nodes and anchor plates. Welded joints require edge preparation that is now integrated into the cut.
Cranes and lifting equipment
Booms, towers and frames. Large-thickness parts with multiple welded joints.
Energy: wind, solar and hydro
Wind towers, support structures and pressure ducts with demanding welding requirements.
Rail and transport
Frames, chassis and wagon structures, with strict weld-quality and traceability requirements.
Boilermaking and pressure vessels
Shells, heads and flanges. Weld preparation is often mandatory by standard.
Industrial and agricultural machinery
Machine frames, articulated arms and implement structures with medium- and thick-gauge welded joints.

How we work
Our workflow
From file to weld-ready part, with no intermediate operations.
Send your files
You send us your files (DXF, DWG, STEP, PDF) indicating which edges need bevelling and the required angle.
Technical review
Our team checks feasibility, optimises the joint preparation and confirms lead time and price within 24 working hours.
CAD/CAM programming
The cut is programmed with the bevel angles in each area of the part, combining different configurations where needed.
Cutting with integrated bevel
The part is cut and bevelled in a single operation, with the head rotating 360° to follow the whole contour.
Dimensional check
Quality control of the cut and the bevel angle before delivery.
Delivery ready to weld
Parts prepared for welding, with no need for intermediate bevelling operations.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about laser bevel cutting
On our machines, laser bevel cutting is available for thicknesses up to 30 mm in carbon steel.
Yes, in most cases. The bevel produced by laser has a precision and finish quality equal to or better than mechanical bevelling, with the advantage of being done in the same cutting operation.
Yes. Our cutting head rotates 360°, allowing bevels on curves, corners and any contour, not just straight edges.
The angle is configurable to suit each project. The most common for weld preparation are 30°, 37.5° and 45°, but other values can be programmed.
We produce single and double bevels in the usual joint configurations: V bevel, X bevel (double V), K bevel and Y bevel, covering practically any weld preparation.
Yes, it is recommended. Indicate on your DXF/DWG files which edges need bevelling, the type (V, X, K, Y) and the required angle. If in doubt, our technical team will advise you.
It has a slightly higher cost than straight cutting, but the total saving is significant by eliminating the subsequent bevelling operation, the extra handling and the process time.
