How to Cut Perforated Plate So It's Not Sharp

Perforated plate is a sheet-shaped steel material that has regular holes, often used for stairs, mezzanine floors, fences, and machine guards. In the process of cutting perforated plates, if not done properly, the cut results can be sharp and dangerous. Therefore, here are some steps and tips for cutting perforated plates so that the results are neat and not sharp:

1. Choose the Right Cutting Tool
Use a special cutting tool for metal, such as a hacksaw, cutting wheel, or plasma cutting machine. Make sure the cutting blade is sharp so that the cutting results are clean.

2. Lock the Perforated Plate Tightly
Before cutting, position the perforated plate on the workbench and lock it with a clamp. This prevents vibration during the cutting process, so that the cut is more precise and not jagged.

3. Mark the Cutting Line Clearly
Use a permanent marker to mark the cutting line. A clear line helps the cutting to be more focused and avoids mistakes.

4. Cut Slowly and Steadily
When cutting, do it at a steady speed and don't rush. Cutting too fast will make the edges rough and sharp.

5. Finish with a Fine Grinder
After the cutting process is complete, smooth the cut edges using a fine grinder (flap disc) or metal file. Make sure all sharp edges are disguised to prevent the risk of injury during installation.

6. Clean Dust and Flakes
Finally, clean the cut area from metal flakes using a wire brush or clean cloth so that the final result is neater and safer to use.

Conclusion
Cutting perforated plates is not only about precision results, but also about safety. By choosing the right tools and a good finishing process, you can get neat, smooth, and safe perforated plate cuts to apply to your project.
