Why is the price per piece higher for 1 piece than for 10?

The €5.72 handling fee is spread over all the pieces in the order - at 10 pcs that is €0.57 per piece instead of €5.72. Larger quantities also get a discount (from 10 pcs −10%, from 50 pcs −20%, from 200 pcs −30%, from 1000 pcs −40%) on the other components (material, cutting, pierces).

Do the prices include VAT?

No - all prices are excl. VAT. We add VAT when you order, and you receive the sales document (invoice or receipt) at the email address you gave us.

Where does the material price come from?

From the area of the rectangle around the part (not the area of the part itself) multiplied by the sheet price per m². That price already includes the scrap around the part, which stays on the sheet either way.

Is there a quantity discount?

Yes, within one line item: from 10 pcs −10%, from 50 pcs −20%, from 200 pcs −30%, from 1000 pcs −40%. The percentage comes off the price per piece (material, cutting, pierces, removal and packing); the per-item handling fee is not discounted, it is simply spread over more pieces.

Can I order a single piece?

Yes, from one piece. The minimum order is €11.21 excl. VAT. The price per piece falls with quantity because the handling fee (€5.72 per line item) is spread over more pieces, and larger quantities get a discount (from 10 pcs −10%, from 50 pcs −20%, from 200 pcs −30%, from 1000 pcs −40%).

Price breakdown

Laser cutting price at Cut It Fast (Katowice, courier delivery across Poland and to EU countries) is published in full and comes from the same price list as every quote. The price of a part is the sum of four components: material (area of the rectangle around the part × sheet price per m²), cutting (length of the cutting path × price per metre), pierces (€0.27 for every hole and contour start) and handling (€5.72 per line item + €0.69 per piece). The minimum order is €11.21 excl. VAT, and 23% VAT is added to everything. Larger quantities in a line item get a discount: from 10 pcs −10%, from 50 pcs −20%, from 200 pcs −30%, from 1000 pcs −40%. The quote on this site works like a calculator: it uses exactly the same formula as this price list.

Material: area of the rectangle around the part × sheet price/m²
Cutting: length of the cutting path × price/m
Pierces: €0.27 per hole
Handling: €5.72 per line item + €0.69 per piece
Quantity discount: from 10 pcs −10%, from 50 pcs −20%, from 200 pcs −30%, from 1000 pcs −40%

Minimum order €11.21 excl. VAT - if your parts come to less, you pay the difference.
For heavily perforated parts we also calculate machine time and take the higher of the two amounts.
The sheet price already includes the scrap around the part.
We round amounts to the cent; an exact half rounds up.

How much does laser cutting sheet metal cost?

At Cut It Fast the cutting itself costs from €0.64 to €3.78 per metre excl. VAT, depending on the sheet (see the table above). For a whole part you pay the sum of four components - sheet, cutting, pierces and handling - but never less than €11.21 excl. VAT per order. Example: Bracket 184 × 92, 4 holes Ø 8, 3 mm mild steel: €9.35 excl. VAT for 1 piece and €3.83 per piece at 10 pieces.

How is laser cutting priced?

The price of a part is the area of the rectangle around the part times the sheet price per m², plus the length of the cutting path times the price per metre, plus €0.27 for every pierce (a hole or a contour start), plus handling: €5.72 per line item and €0.69 per piece. Larger quantities in a line item get a discount: from 10 pcs −10%, from 50 pcs −20%, from 200 pcs −30%, from 1000 pcs −40%. An order never costs less than €11.21 excl. VAT. You don't have to calculate it yourself, we do it from your file: Upload a file and see the price.

How much does an hour of laser cutting cost?

At Cut It Fast we don't sell hours of laser time, we sell metres of cutting: you know the price before you order, and it doesn't depend on how long the part sits on the machine. For comparison: in 3 mm mild steel cutting costs €1.14/m excl. VAT, and in 4 mm stainless steel €3.78 excl. VAT per metre. We use machine time only as a safeguard: for heavily perforated parts we take the higher of two amounts, per metre or per machine time.

How much does it cost to cut a single piece?

You can order a single piece: there is no minimum quantity, only a minimum order value of €11.21 excl. VAT. If your parts come to less, you pay up to the minimum; if more, you pay their price. A single piece costs more than a piece from a series because the €5.72 handling fee for the line item falls on one piece, while at 10 pieces it is €0.57 per piece. Example: Bracket 184 × 92, 4 holes Ø 8, 3 mm mild steel: €9.35 excl. VAT for 1 piece.
