Mobile Aluminum Extrusion Cutting Service
Offer on-site cutting for contractors, makerspaces, and sign shops—accurately trimming channel, angle, and 80/20-style extrusions. Charge per cut or per project; the thin kerf minimizes material waste and burrs, saving clients deburring time on installs.
Custom Address Numbers and Signage Letters
Produce brushed aluminum house numbers, apartment identifiers, and logos from sheet stock. Use templates and the low-loading cut-off wheels for clean edges, then finish with sanding, clearcoat, or powder coat. Sell on Etsy and to local builders with standoff hardware kits.
Marine/RV Mounts and Brackets Micro-Fab
Build corrosion-resistant mounts for solar panels, antennas, cargo racks, and accessories. Provide measurement, on-site cutting, and installation at marinas and RV parks. The wheel’s non-ferrous focus reduces clogging when trimming plate, angle, and tubing.
Pre-Cut Maker Kits (Frames and Enclosures)
Source aluminum extrusions and flat bar, then cut standardized kits for printer/CNC enclosures, greenhouse frames, and shelving. Sell as ready-to-assemble kits with connectors and hardware; precision cuts with minimal burrs boost perceived quality and assembly ease.
Upcycled Aluminum Home Decor
Repurpose aluminum rims, ladders, and scrap profiles into shelves, clocks, planters, and minimalist furniture. The thin cut-off wheel enables efficient disassembly and material prep; market limited-run pieces with a sustainability angle at local markets and online.
Creative
Kinetic Aluminum Wind Sculptures
Cut blades, fins, and counterweights from aluminum sheet and flat bar to build garden wind art. The 0.045 in thin-kerf wheel lets you make precise, repeatable cuts with minimal burrs, so pieces spin smoothly on bushings or rivets. Finish with brushed or anodized surfaces for weather resistance.
Backlit Geometric Wall Panels
Create modern wall art by cutting repeating patterns into aluminum sheet, then mounting LED strips behind for glow-through effects. Use straightedges and templates with the thin cut-off wheels to achieve crisp negative-space designs and reduced cleanup before painting or clearcoating.
Fold-Form Lanterns and Shade Screens
Score and cut fold lines and perforations in thin aluminum sheet to form lanterns or window shade panels. The low-loading resin bond helps prevent gumming while making long slits and decorative perforations; edge softening is minimal, making seams cleaner when folded and riveted.
Custom PC Case Mods and Vent Grilles
Cut custom fan vents, cable pass-throughs, and logo windows in aluminum side panels or bezels. The thin kerf makes tight radii and intricate cutouts easier to control with guide jigs, reducing file work before installing mesh, dust filters, or acrylic inserts.
Wood Boards with Aluminum Inlay
Rip thin aluminum strips from flat bar and inlay them into routed grooves on serving boards or furniture accents. The clean, burr-light cuts seat flush with epoxy, yielding striking metal-on-wood patterns after sanding and finishing.
