Do you offer tumbling?
We soften the edges of laser cut parts and remove burrs on small parts through a ceramic tumbling process. Please note, this is not a finishing process and does not guarantee a uniform finish on the individual parts.

SendCutSend’s laser cutting methods prevent major burr and dross buildup, but both imperfections are still unavoidable parts of the manufacturing process. Read through our material pages to see examples of dross and burr in different thicknesses.
We do not offer any polished or mirror finish metals at this time. Mirror-finish acrylic is available, as well as a variety of plastics and composites with a gloss finish.
SendCutSend does not offer line graining or brushing, but our linear deburring service will help remove imperfections left over from the laser cutting process. Your sheet metal parts will be cleaned up and ready for you to assemble and finish.
Aluminum, mild steel and stainless steel are the best candidates for powder coating. To confirm which materials and thicknesses are eligible for powder coating, take a look at our powder coating guidelines page.
Powder coating adds 7-10 days to an order’s lead time before shipping. For this reason, we strongly recommend ordering finished and unfinished parts separately so we can ship your non-powder coated parts as soon as they’re ready.

You can powder coat bent/formed and tapped parts. Please be aware that die witness marks from the press brake will be visible through the coating. Also, you will have to chase any tapped holes to clear the threads once you receive the parts.
We have multiple etching limitations to keep in mind since we do not offer laser engraving or solid etching. Our etching services are currently limited to single line etching. Please note: single line etching is faint and shouldn’t be used for cosmetic applications.
We offer powder coating in seven colors: matte black, gloss black, wrinkle black, gloss white, gloss red, gloss yellow, and emerald green.
We do not offer laser engraving or solid etching at this time. We recommend contacting a specialty engraving or trophy shop for those services.
There will inevitably be scratches left on the surface of your part after the machining process especially on the bottom side that contacts the laser bed. If you want to minimize the effect the scratches will have on the final look of your part, select deburring or tumbling before checkout if your parts are eligible.
Yes! In addition to cutting, deburring, and bending, we offer powder coating via our Instant Quote process. For details, check out our powder coating page.
