Our team of Plywood aficionados have worked hard to make the purchasing process as easy as possible, but we realise that getting things cut to your specific dimensions can be a daunting task, especially if it’s something you're unfamiliar with. The introduction of [our handy cut-to-size form](https://plyco.com.au/pages/cut-to-size) has alleviated many of the challenges our customers have faced previously, but there are still some grey areas surrounding this convenient service. To combat this, and make your life a whole lot easier, we’ve created this blog post to guide you through every step of the journey. We’ll cover everything from how to submit your cutting request, and what cutting methods we use, and help you get an estimate on how much your cutting job is likely to cost. [![New call-to-action](https://hubspot-no-cache-ap1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/4078144/d8f1f60f-a96d-4b75-8c46-5bbc19b01cd4.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-ap1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/4078144/d8f1f60f-a96d-4b75-8c46-5bbc19b01cd4) ## Submitting Your Cutting Request There's just one way to submit your cutting request, via the handy above form! The reason we ask all customers to do this is so that all of your cutting information is stored in one place and flows through our normal workflow. It also ensures that there are no mix-ups with any of your specifications, and if something does seem off our sales team can contact you for easy clarification. For any other queries about our process, visit our commonly asked [plywood cut-to-size questions](https://plyco.com.au/pages/plywood-cut-to-size). ## The Right Tools for the Job Once you’ve submitted your cutting request and it’s been given the green light it’s time for the real action to start. Depending on the type and size of your job there are a number of different machines that may be utilised on your plywood boards. First up is our CNC machine. This is our biggest machine used for cutting and is generally designated for larger jobs. It can cut panels of up to 3.6 metres in length and can even slice through four 18mm sheets at one time. With this kind of power, it’s no wonder the biggest and bulkiest jobs are sent straight here. Click here to read[ tips on CNC cutting jobs](https://blog.plyco.com.au/introducing-plycos-plywood-cnc-cutting-service) or view our[CNC specifications guide.](https://blog.plyco.com.au/hubfs/PDF/landing-page-downloads/plyco-cnc-brochure.pdf?_gl=1*1rf6diz*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE3MDQ0MTQ2NzMuQ2owS0NRaUF5OW1zQmhEMEFSSXNBTmJrMEEtSWRzaXB3U29feUNsQmgxR2hvYjdKX0U3ZVhqbVhDLVJhQlREbzNnci1YYS10cGRvU3pfSWFBaUFfRUFMd193Y0I.*_gcl_au*NjkzMzgxMjc5LjE3MDE3MjUyODg.) To ensure our customers with smaller and simpler cutting requests aren’t left waiting around, [we have recently introduced a brand new beam saw specifically to cater to these jobs](https://blog.plyco.com.au/wait-times-cut-thanks-to-plyco-beam-saw). The NIMAC Hermes 70 machine is on the *cutting* edge of plywood cutting technology, featuring a 5-axis controller, 3D real-time visualisation, and professional optimiser, which give you precision cuts every single time. It also maximises productivity with its parallel lifting table, meaning we can fly through cutting orders quicker than ever. Finally, we have our trusty edge bander at your disposal. If you’ve placed an order for some edging your board will be sent straight here to come out looking fresh in no time. ## Plywood Cut-to-Size Pricing One of the most common questions we get at Plyco is *“how much will cutting cost?”* This can be a tricky question to answer as pricing varies from order to order, however, we’ll do our best to explain our cutting pricing in as much detail as possible. If you're looking for our standardised cutting and edging pricing, be sure to head to our [Product Catalogue](https://plyco.com.au/pages/product-catalogue) and download our latest price list. Here, you'll find everything you need to know on our standard pricing per hour and cut. For everything else, your job will need to be quoted via our plywood, particleboard and MDF [cut-to-size request form.](https://plyco.com.au/pages/cut-to-size) The reason it becomes so tricky to immediately answer how much a cutting job will cost is that there are many variables when it comes to more intricate requests. A project requiring just a handful of boards to be cut in half once is a relatively simple task and would be at our standard rate. ## Plywood Lead Times When the quantity of cuts and sheets increases, the time required to complete the request needs to be factored in. This is why we require all cutting requests to be submitted via our CTS request form. This way, our cut-to-size superstars can have all the information in one place as they quickly calculate your pricing and ETA. While cutting time varies depending on how busy we are at the time and how large your request is, we always endeavour to complete your order within ten business days. Hopefully, this guide has helped answer some of those burning questions about Plyco’s plywood cut-to-size service. If you’re ready to start slicing and dicing, head over to our cut-to-size form to kick-start your plywood journey.
