Project Ideas

Business

Mobile On-Site Metal Cutting Service

Offer contractor and homeowner support for on-site cuts: rebar sizing, angle iron trimming, fence/gate modifications, and demolition cuts. A 14 in high-speed portable cutoff setup with multi-pack wheels keeps you efficient across multiple calls per day.


Custom Brackets & Hardware Micro-Fab

Produce made-to-measure steel brackets, shelf supports, and mounting plates for builders and interior designers. The aggressive wheel speeds through flat bar and plate, enabling short lead times and profitable small-batch runs.


Event & Retail Display Fabrication

Design and fabricate modular metal frames, sign holders, and merch racks. The strong, safe Type 1 wheel is ideal for rapid prototyping and batch cutting of tubing and flats, letting you deliver sturdy, brandable displays for pop-ups and trade shows.


Rebar Cutting Packages for Landscapers

Partner with landscapers and hardscape crews to pre-cut rebar kits for retaining walls, concrete steps, and planters. Offer standard sizes and custom schedules; the high-grain wheel’s extended life reduces consumable costs and boosts margins.


Beginner Metal Art Workshops + Kits

Sell pre-cut blanks (silhouettes, geometric shapes, planter panels) and host workshops where attendees assemble and finish pieces. Use the cutting wheel in the shop to prep clean, consistent parts at scale; upsell take-home kit variations online.

Creative

Rebar Garden Trellis + Archway

Cut rebar and flat bar into lengths and gentle angles to build a rust-patina trellis and matching arch. The 14 in Type 1 wheel makes straight, repeatable cuts fast, and the 3-layer fiberglass reinforcement adds confidence during longer sessions. Weld or bolt the pieces, then add climbing plants for a sculptural garden feature.


Industrial Firewood Rack

Create a geometric firewood stand from square tubing and flat bar. Use the high-grain wheel for quick, square cuts on repeated lengths, then weld into a cube or X-frame. Finish in black paint or clear coat for a modern, functional living room or patio piece.


Reclaimed Metal Wall Sculpture

Source scrap chain, gears, and plate offcuts, then trim and silhouette them into a cohesive wall panel. The aggressive aluminum oxide/silicon carbide blend makes short work of mixed steels, letting you refine shapes before tack-welding to a backing frame.


Flat-Pack Campfire Ring

Cut sheet steel into interlocking panels with tab-and-slot joints so the ring packs flat for transport. The 1/8 in kerf is ideal for crisp slots and straight edges; add a simple etched layout, then cut and deburr. Optional: cut a detachable grill support arm.


Minimalist Metal Planter Boxes

Cut sheet and angle iron to size for modular planters. Assemble with welds or rivets, and add drainage holes. The wheel’s extended life in multi-pack form keeps production moving if you’re making a matching set for patio or storefront installs.
