Q: What's the difference between sheet metal fabrication and sheet metal stamping?

• <div><p>Also called metal pressing, metal stamping involves placing a metal sheet into a stamping press to create a desired shape using custom tooling. Ideal for mass production, stamping creates coining, embossing, and flanging effects when shaping metal. Meanwhile, sheet metal fabrication is a more cost-effective option ideal for one-off or low-volume projects because it doesn't require custom tooling.</p></div>

Q: What household tool can cut a metal pipe?

• <div><p>Your typical household tools will not cut a metal pipe. To cut a metal pipe, you&rsquo;d need more specialized tools like a pipe cutter or circular saw. Do not attempt to use these tools without taking proper safety precautions and wearing safety gear. It&rsquo;s usually safer to let a pro cut a metal pipe, especially if you&rsquo;re not confident in your skills with a heavy-duty saw. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to hire a metal fabrication professional?

• <div><p>Professional metal fabricators usually charge around <b>$70 per hour</b>. Three of the largest cost factors are the size and complexity of the project and the price of materials. The type of metal can impact the cost as much as the intricacy of the metal fabrication you want done. Another cost factor is your geographic location, as labor and materials can vary widely depending on the cost of living where you live. </p></div>

Q: What is the difference between metal casting and metal fabrication?

• <div><p>Metal casting involves creating a prototype and a mold into which metal is poured and allowed to cool and set up. Pieces are cast in molds, making the reproduction of many identical pieces more efficient for larger quantities. Metal fabrication involves creating pieces and welding them together into a larger project, involving more skilled manual labor than metal casting. Fabrication can be more cost-effective in smaller runs but can become less efficient for producing mass quantities of identical pieces.</p></div>

Q: How do you calculate welding costs?

• <div><p>The average cost to hire a welder is about <b>$300</b>, with an average rate ranging from <b>$65 to $125 per hour,</b> depending on their experience and the project type and size. Aside from labor costs, some other charges you&rsquo;ll need to pay include the cost of the welding material and the cost of the shielding gas that makes welding possible and safe. When you&rsquo;re interviewing welders for your work, you can ask for an estimate based on your project specifics. In some simple cases, like welding gas lines or common welding projects, local welders may charge a flat hourly rate with add-ons if necessary.</p></div>
