How Plasma Cutters Power Precision Steelwork at Riteweld Engineering
When precision matters, nothing cuts steel quite like a plasma cutter. At Riteweld Engineering, we use plasma cutters in Oxfordshire to produce fast, clean, and accurate results for a wide range of steel fabrication projects.
Whether you need structural steel, architectural features, or bespoke metal components, our in-house plasma cutting service ensures every piece is made to exact specifications.
What Is a Plasma Cutter?
A plasma cutter is a tool that uses an electrical arc and compressed gas (usually air) to cut through conductive metals like steel, aluminium, and stainless steel. It works by creating a high-temperature plasma stream that melts the metal, while a jet of air blows the molten material away, producing a clean, sharp cut.
This process allows for:
- High-speed cutting
- Extreme precision
- Minimal material waste
- Intricate shapes and patterns

Why Plasma Cutting Matters in Fabrication
Using plasma cutters in Oxfordshire gives Riteweld a huge advantage in steel fabrication:
- Accuracy: Ideal for complex parts, brackets, and architectural details
- Speed: Faster than manual or traditional torch cutting
- Consistency: Delivers repeatable quality on every job
- Versatility: Cuts through various thicknesses of mild and stainless steel
Whether we’re creating custom staircases, balustrades, or structural plates, plasma cutting helps us maintain exact tolerances and clean edges.
Our Plasma Cutting Capabilities
Riteweld operates advanced CNC-controlled plasma cutting machines right here in Banbury, Oxfordshire. This setup means:
- We can handle one-off pieces or large batches
- Cut sheets up to 25mm thick
- Produce custom patterns, holes, and slots for structural and decorative elements
- Integrate cutting into broader fabrication workflows (e.g. brake pressing, welding)
By keeping all services in-house, we maintain full control over quality, lead times, and cost.
Common Uses of Plasma Cutters in Our Projects
| Component | Application |
|---|---|
| Steel plates | Structural steel beams and joints |
| Decorative panels | Balconies, screens, and signage |
| Custom brackets | Staircase supports and fixings |
| Pre-cut holes | For pipework, fixings, or assembly |
Our machines also support prototyping and short-run production — ideal for bespoke builds.
