Torch Cutting At Scot Forge, we combine torch cutting capabilities with forging technology to produce high quality special shapes or contours that otherwise could only be cast or fabricated. Additionally Scot Forge can offer machining and sawing for even greater neer net shape possibilities. The inherent structural integrity and weight savings often make torch cutting forgings a cost-effective alternative to plate products. Our CNC flame cutting machine can burn through carbon and alloy forgings with cross sections to 100" by 144" and with thicknesses up to 32". Pre- and post-heating operations are performed to minimize thermal shock and reduce the possibility of cracking the forgings.
