High-precision laser cutting for thick sheet metal
At Talleres Feudo we have latest-generation high-power fibre laser cutting equipment capable of cutting steel sheets up to 50 mm thick. Furthermore, our automated STOPA storage system allows us to manage large volumes of sheet metal with maximum efficiency.
Laser cutting is the reference technology for obtaining parts with high dimensional precision, clean edges and minimal heat-affected zone, especially in thick gauges where other methods lose quality.
Capabilities
Laser cutting capabilities
Our fibre laser cutting equipment covers a wide range of thicknesses and materials.

Latest-generation equipment with sufficient power to cut thick sheets with superior edge quality and high cutting speed.
Automated STOPA warehouse
Automatic sheet storage and loading system that maximises productivity and allows efficient 24/7 operation.
Optimised programming
Advanced nesting software that maximises material utilisation, reducing waste and raw material costs.
Materials
Materials we cut with laser
We specialise in laser cutting carbon steel, from thin sheet to heavy plate:
- Carbon steel (S235, S275, S355): up to 50 mm thick with excellent edge quality.
- High-strength steels: Hardox, Strenx, Weldox and similar, on request.
- Forming steels (DC01, DD11): for parts that are later bent, drawn or stamped.
- Black, pickled and shot-blasted sheet: depending on the finish the part requires.
We manage procurement of these materials. Stainless steel, aluminium and galvanised sheet on request only, with customer-supplied material.
Steel sheet laser cutting: common thicknesses
We cut carbon steel sheet from 1 mm up to 50 mm. The thicknesses we are asked for most are 25, 30, 40, 45 and 50 mm, and we work any intermediate size in the range.
Quality does not drop as thickness increases. It is the most common concern and the answer is straightforward: the finish is laser quality across the whole range. The only thing that changes is cutting speed, which falls as thickness rises. A 50 mm part comes out with the same edge as a 25 mm one.
That is why we recommend laser every time. Compared with oxy-fuel or plasma, tolerances are far tighter, and the customer notices it as soon as the part reaches assembly or welding: it fits first time and there are no edges to rework.
Cutting gas. On thick plate we normally cut with oxygen, which gives more uniform edges. If your part cannot carry any oxidation on the edge, nitrogen cutting is available on request: tell us the case and we will confirm feasibility in the quote.

Dimensional check
Control of the critical dimensions of the cut parts to ensure compliance with the specified tolerances before moving to the next operation.
Packaging and delivery
Suitable packaging to protect the parts during transport. Delivery at our facilities or shipment across Spain and Europe according to your needs.
Why fibre laser?
Fibre laser vs. other cutting methods
We have committed to fibre laser because we believe in quality as a competitive advantage. Here is why.
| Feature | Fibre laser | Plasma | Oxy-cutting | Waterjet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Precision | ±0.1 mm | ±0.5 mm | ±1-2 mm | ±0.1 mm |
| Speed (medium thick.) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐ |
| Edge quality | Excellent | Good | Fair | Excellent |
| Cut perpendicularity | Very high | Poor | Poor | High |
| Heat-affected zone (HAZ) | Minimal | Medium | High | None |
| Max. steel thickness | 50 mm | 80 mm | 300 mm | 200 mm |
| Cost per part | Low-medium | Low | Low | High |
The thickness row shows the maximum each technology can reach, not the thickness at which it delivers a quality cut: oxy-cutting reaches 300 mm, but at ±1-2 mm tolerances. Our 50 mm range is a quality cut throughout. If your part goes beyond that, we will tell you and point you in the right direction, even if we cannot make it ourselves.
Coming from one of those two technologies? We go into detail here: plasma cutting or laser cutting and oxy-fuel cutting or laser cutting.
Why we chose fibre laser
At Talleres Feudo we have chosen high-power fibre laser as our main cutting technology because we believe part quality is the best investment a customer can make. The machine hour cost may be slightly higher than plasma or oxy-cutting, but the benefits far outweigh that difference:
Precision that means savings. With tolerances of ±0.1 mm, parts fit first time. No edge rework, no adjustments during assembly, no surprises. That means less assembly time, fewer rejects and fewer production headaches.
Superior cut perpendicularity. Fibre laser produces almost perfectly perpendicular cuts, especially compared to plasma. This is critical when parts are going to be welded: a well-prepared joint is the basis of a quality welding.
Less heating, better welding. The heat-affected zone (HAZ) of fibre laser is minimal. This means the material around the cut is not altered, does not deform and keeps its original mechanical properties. The result is a part that welds better, with fewer residual stresses and lower risk of distortion during subsequent boilermaking.
When laser is the best option
Fibre laser is the ideal technology when you need:
- Parts with strict tolerances that go straight to assembly or welding
- Complex contours, small holes or intricate geometries
- Clean edge finish with no need for subsequent rework
- Weld preparation (bevel) integrated into the cut itself
- Repetitive batches where dimensional consistency is key
- Parts where edge quality avoids subsequent machining
For very large thicknesses (over 80 mm) or non-metallic materials, other methods such as oxy-cutting or waterjet may be more suitable. In those cases, we will tell you honestly and guide you towards the best solution for your project.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about laser cutting
Our high-power fibre laser equipment cuts carbon steel up to 50 mm. High-strength steels such as Hardox, Strenx or Weldox are cut on request, depending on thickness and the required cut quality.
Laser cutting offers greater precision (±0.1 mm), smaller heat-affected zone, cleaner edges, less need for post-processing and higher cutting speed at medium thicknesses. It is the reference technology for quality parts.
Our cutting tables accept sheets up to 8,000 x 2,000 mm in standard format. For special formats, contact us and we will study your case.
No. The finish is laser quality across the whole range, from 1 to 50 mm. The only thing that changes is cutting speed, which falls as thickness rises: a 50 mm part comes out with the same edge as a 25 mm one. That is why we recommend laser over oxy-fuel or plasma, whose tolerances are considerably wider.
On thick plate we normally cut with oxygen, which gives more uniform edges. Nitrogen cutting, for parts that cannot carry any oxidation on the edge, is available on request: tell us the case and we will confirm feasibility in the quote.
For standard orders, the lead time is 3 to 5 working days depending on volume. We offer an express service in 24-48 hours for priority parts, subject to schedule availability.
We work with DXF, DWG, STEP, IGES and dimensioned PDF files. If you only have a paper drawing or sketch, we can also digitise the part in our technical department.
Yes, we offer laser bevel cutting to prepare parts for welding in a single operation, up to 30 mm thickness. This reduces lead times and costs compared with a separate chamfering step.
Yes, we regularly ship laser-cut parts to clients in France from our plant in Navarra (northern Spain). Our location close to the French border allows competitive lead times to Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Occitanie and the rest of France.
