Extrusion Cutting

When precision matters, even the smallest error in cutting metal extrusions can compromise an entire project. Whether you're fabricating structural components or assembling bespoke furniture, accurate extrusion cutting ensures your pieces fit perfectly the first time.

At Click Metal, we use semi-automatic and fully automatic saws to deliver clean, consistent cuts across a wide range of extruded profiles. Our approach combines decades of metalworking experience with modern cutting technology, giving you reliable results that save time, reduce waste, and support everything from single prototypes to large production runs.

What Is Extrusion Cutting?

Extrusion cutting involves sawing extruded metal profiles (angles, channels, tubes, box sections, and custom shapes) to precise lengths that match your specifications. It's a bit of a double-edged sword: done well, it accelerates fabrication and ensures structural integrity; done poorly, it creates dimensional errors that cascade through assembly.

Aluminium profile cutting demands both sharp tooling and controlled feed rates to avoid burrs, distortion, or rough edges. Put simply, professional extrusion cutting isn't just about removing material. It's about maintaining the profile's geometry while delivering repeatable accuracy across every piece you order. And that’s where Click Metal comes in.

Our Precision Extrusion Cutting Capabilities

Click Metal operates semi-automatic and fully automatic saws designed specifically for brass, mild steel, galvanised steel, stainless steel, and aluminium profile cutting. Our precision extrusion saw cutting equipment handles both small batches and high-volume production runs, maintaining tight tolerances and clean finishes throughout. The semi-automatic systems give our team hands-on control for custom or complex profiles, while the fully automatic saws deliver unmatched repeatability when you need hundreds of identical pieces.

Every cut is made with sharp blades and optimised cutting speeds, minimising heat distortion and ensuring smooth edges that require little to no secondary finishing.

Metal Extrusions We Cut

We handle a comprehensive range of extruded profiles, allowing you to source multiple components from a single supplier. Our profile cutting service covers standard stock items and bespoke sections, with aluminium angles cut to size being among our most popular requests.

Broadly speaking, if it's an extruded shape, we can cut it:

• Aluminium Angles (Equal and Unequal Leg)
• Channels and C-Sections
• Flat Bars and Hexagonal Bars
• Round Tube and Square Tube
• Box Section (Hollow and Solid)
• T-Sections and Z-Sections
• Custom or Specialised Extrusions

Benefits of Cut-to-Length Extrusions

Ordering cut to length extrusions eliminates the need for expensive workshop equipment or time-consuming manual cutting. After all, context is everything: a fabricator working on a tight deadline values speed and consistency, while a DIY enthusiast appreciates the safety and convenience of receiving pre-cut sections.

Cutting extrusions professionally delivers several key advantages:

• Saves fabrication time by arriving ready to assemble or weld
• Reduces material waste through precise sawing and efficient nesting
• Ensures consistent dimensions across batch orders
• Provides cleaner edges than portable saws or handheld tools
• Supports prototyping and production with scalable quantities

Applications Across Industries

From architectural frameworks to automotive components, aluminium profile cutting serves an astonishingly diverse range of applications. What unites them is the need for accuracy, repeatability, and clean finishes that support efficient assembly. Here we're going to highlight the most common uses:

• Fabrication and welding projects requiring tight-fitting joints
• Furniture construction (frames, legs, supports, and structural elements)
• Signage and display systems (trade show stands, retail fixtures)
• Automotive and aerospace components (brackets, mounts, housings)
• Architectural installations (cladding supports, window frames, balustrades)
• DIY home improvements (shelving, railings, custom storage solutions)
