Whether you need prototype quantities or full-scale production runs of custom-cut tubing, our Minnesota-based facility delivers fast turnaround without sacrificing precision.
Industry-Leading Technology
BLM LT7
Fraser Steel’s BLM LT7 laser tube cutting machines consolidate up to six different fabrication steps into one continuous process. In most applications, this removes 60-80% of the labor required by conventional methods. These fully automated precision laser cutting machines feature multi-axis laser systems that add real value to tubular assemblies and parts without adding tooling costs. They can produce:
- Multiple part features without multiple processes
- Enhanced accuracy and repeatability
- Closer tolerances
- Precise profiles, copes, miters and edges
- Odd and complex end shapes
- Accurate slots and holes
The BLM LT7 is a fully automated 3D tube laser system designed for fast, precise cutting across a wide range of tube sizes, profiles, and materials. With intelligent automatic setup between jobs and high-speed loading and unloading, it delivers consistent accuracy with minimal waste. This allows us to offer reliable, high-quality laser cutting with quick turnaround times
Cost-Effective Fabrication with Greater Precision
Investing in laser tube cutting technology has allowed our team to trim manufacturing costs by reducing or optimizing the tube fabrication process. Parts that require several features such as slots, holes, miters, copes or profiles can be produced faster, with greater precision, and at a lower cost than traditional tube fabrication processes. This makes our laser tube cutting services an ideal fit for OEMs seeking custom tube fabrication at scale

Frequently Asked Questions
How does laser tube cutting reduce manufacturing costs?
Laser tube cutting reduces manufacturing costs by consolidating multiple fabrication steps—drilling, coping, miters, slots, and profiling—into one automated process. This eliminates 60–80% of the labor required by conventional methods like sawing and punching, speeding up production while delivering more accurate, repeatable parts at a lower total cost.
What advantages does the BLM LT7 laser tube cutting machine provide?
The BLM LT7 is a fully automated 3D tube laser system that produces multiple part features—slots, holes, copes, and miters—in a single continuous process. It delivers exceptional accuracy, tight tolerances, and repeatability across a wide range of tube sizes and materials, with minimal waste and fast job changeovers.
What materials and tube shapes can Fraser Steel laser cut?
Fraser Steel’s laser tube cutting services process mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum in round, square, rectangular, oval, and custom profile tubes. Our machines accommodate diameters from ½ inch to 6 inches and wall thicknesses up to ¼ inch, suiting both lightweight and heavy-duty OEM components.
Does Fraser Steel help with part design for laser-cut tube components?
Yes. Fraser Steel’s in-house engineering team collaborates with customers early in the design phase to optimize tube geometry, wall thickness, and part features for laser cutting. This partnership improves manufacturability, reduces secondary operations, and lowers total production costs before parts reach the shop floor.
What industries does Fraser Steel serve with laser tube cutting?
Fraser Steel provides laser tube cutting for OEMs across automotive, medical equipment, agriculture, solar, recreational vehicle, exercise equipment, and furniture industries, among others. Our engineering team adapts tube profiles, materials, and tolerances to each industry’s unique performance, regulatory, and cost requirements, from prototype through full-scale production.
