Business
On-Demand Rebar & Angle Cutting
Offer a mobile cut-to-length service for contractors and DIYers who need rebar, angle, or flat bar trimmed on-site. Charge per cut or per bundle, with minimum call-out fee. Focus on clean, square cuts and jobsite speed; bring clamps, stands, and spark containment.
Cut-to-Size Metal Frame Kits
Produce pre-cut kits for coffee tables, shelves, and workbenches using angle and square tube. Label parts, include hardware and assembly guides, and sell online or locally. Upsell finishes (powder coat) and custom dimensions for premium margins.
Scrap-to-Art Microbrand
Convert salvaged ferrous metal into saleable garden art, wall panels, and minimalist sculptures. Use the wheel to batch-cut consistent modules for repeatable designs. Sell at markets, on Etsy, and via local boutiques; offer custom commissions for higher-ticket pieces.
Demolition & Salvage Prep Cuts
Provide cutting services to segment tanks, pipe, racks, and fixtures for removal and recycling. Bill day rates plus disposal or scrap-share. Emphasize safety plans (fire watch, spark control) and rapid turnaround for contractors.
Makerspace/Pop-up Cutting Station
Set up a staffed cutting booth at a makerspace or weekend market where customers bring stock for per-cut pricing. Keep common profiles in inventory and offer precise, repeatable straight cuts while they wait. Track consumables and charge tiered rates for thickness and quantity.

Scrap-Steel Garden Sculptures
Cut rebar, flat bar, and rod into clean, repeatable lengths to assemble modern garden sculptures. Use straight-line geometry, stacked layers, and negative space that suit the wheel’s strong, straight cuts. Weld or bolt components, then patina and clear-coat for weather resistance. Always clamp work, keep the cut straight, and avoid side-loading the Type 1 wheel.
Modular Firewood Rack/Plant Stand
Slice angle iron and square tubing to exact lengths to build minimalist, modular frames. Design a few standard modules (uprights, crossbars, feet) that bolt together for different sizes. Deburr edges and add felt feet or powder coat for a clean indoor finish.
Industrial Wall Art and Signage
Create geometric wall art and nameplates by cutting flat bar and sheet strips into crisp, linear elements. Arrange overlapped strips, rivet or spot-weld to a backer, and finish with blackened steel or clear lacquer. Add stenciled lettering or plasma-cut letters mounted on your straight-cut backers.
Custom BBQ/Smoker Accessories
Cut mild-steel rod and expanded steel to make warming racks, tool hooks, and charcoal baskets. The wheel produces quick, square cuts for frames and brackets. Season with high-temp oil after a thorough clean to slow rust.
Kinetic Wind Spinners
Cut multiple identical steel strips and assemble them on a central axle to form wind spinners. Precision straight cuts keep balance consistent, improving spin. Finish with heat coloring or rusted patina sealed with clear coat.
