Best Answer

Cutting torches will cut stainless steel, but you are likely to be left with a discoloured edge to the cut. Which you may or may not like. A laser cutter will produce a cleaner cut, and smaller discolouration.

What are some uses for a cutting torch?

Cutting torches can be used in a large variety of ways. Most of the time, people use cutting torches in order to cut metal, which is nearly impossible to cut with normal household items. Use of a cutting torch would come in handy when building something using pieces of metal, such as a metal shed or some sort of door, like that of a garage. Remember to always wear the proper safety gear when using cutting torches!


Is Laser cutting of steel a thermal cutting process?

CO2 laser cutting carbon steel with oxygen is an exothermic (thermal) process. The oxygen used with the laser cutting burns the steel, thus assisting the cutting process. This process causes striations, or lines, to form at the cutting edge and provides lower cut quality but faster cutting. In contrast, when cutting stainless steel with nitrogen, only the heat from a CO2 laser performs the melting (operating in the far infrared region at 10600 nanometers). The nitrogen assist gas pushes the melted material down and out of the way, leaving the cut that is typically a polished edge.

No Stainless steel is extremely hard, difficult to put a good edge on but once sharp it will keep its sharpness - tinfoil is soft and will not dull the sharpened blade -you could cut it all day with no effect on your knife.
