PLASMA DRILLING & CUTTING SERVICES
GK Machine’s plasma cutting machines with integrated cutting, milling and drilling, deliver maximum productivity in plate processing. Our top-of-the-line Kinetic 5000 is a heavy-duty combination plasma cutting, oxy-fuel and milling machine. With multiple functions in a single machine, there’s no need for complex fixtures, multiple setups, or moving work pieces from station to station, all maximizing productivity and profitability for your project.
Part making is another of our primary services and areas of expertise. GK can handle large sized metal sheets and plates (10’ x 40’). With high cutting speeds, precision drilling and easy material handling enables us to maximize production output. This powerful machine can handle multiple functions in one pass: Thick Steel Cutting, Part Marking, Drilling, Counter Boring, Bevel Cutting and Milling.
