CNC Tube Cutting at Steel Effects.

Our CNC tube cutter saves hours of fit-up. Saddle cuts, copes, miters, and contour profiles come off the machine ready to weld — no hand grinding, no template chasing. We import your DXF or 3D model and cut from the same geometry your design team built.

What we work with

Round pipe and tubing

Square and rectangular HSS

Channel and angle (within fixture envelope)

Carbon steel, stainless, aluminum

Wall thicknesses up to 1.5″

Capabilities

Process	Capacity	Material	Best For
Saddle Cuts	2″ – 24″ OD	Round pipe to pipe	Truss & frame joints
Copes	2″ – 12″ HSS	Square / rectangular	Structural connections
Miters	Any angle	Round & HSS	Handrail, frames, skids
Contour Profile	5-axis	Round / HSS	Custom hole and slot patterns

How we run the job

Step 01

Import

DXF, STEP, or IGES from your design — geometry, not interpretation.

Step 02

Program

Tube path and torch angles calculated for each joint condition.

Step 03

Cut

Five-axis plasma cut on rotating chuck — saddles, copes, miters.

Step 04

Verify

Trial fit-up against mating part before bundle and ship.
