What if I require more precise cut lengths?

No problem! This is where our integrated cutting tool comes in.

How do I get my item cut to a bespoke length(s)?

1. Choose the product you want, and select the total length of product you require
2. If you don’t need this product to be cut any further, then select BUY SELECTED LENGTHS – NO CUTS
3. If you do need this product cut into more specific lengths, then select BUY NOW – WITH CUTS; this will open the cutting tool
4. Input the lengths of the product you want, along with the quantity of these lengths:
   For example, to begin with here we want 10x50mm lengths
5. Please note, the kerf is the width of the saw blade (usually 5mm). This is the width at which the blade will cut into the material, and so with each cut, this amount of product is lost from the overall length you initially chose:
   For example, if 1 cut is requested, then 5mm of material is lost. If 10 cuts are requested, a total of 50mm of material is lost (this number can be found under cut waste)
6. You can see how much product is left to cut next to REMAINING OFFCUT
7. If you require any further pieces, then select ADD ANOTHER CUT and repeat the above by adding in the lengths and quantity that you need
8. Once you’ve selected all of your lengths and quantities, then scroll down and choose whether you would like the offcuts to be recycled by us, or if you’d like us to send them with your order
9. To add to your basket, select BUY NOW – WITH CUTS, at the bottom of the page
10. You can multiply your order on the basket page, and this will duplicate the cuts.
