One from the archives! Swift-Cut - CNC Cutting Systems

One of our very first cuts on our Swift-Cut CNC Plasma plasma back in 2019.

Seven years and countless bespoke projects later, it’s still going strong—and still one of the best investments in our workshop.

A great machine that’s earned its place at Acorn!

From straight aluminium tube to finished globe light frames.

A look at the process behind these bespoke frames—from rolling the tube and checking the fit around the globes, through to welding and seeing the finished installation.

The corner globe needed a compound bend, forming the tube in more than one plane to achieve the shape required.

A fair bit of rolling, checking and adjusting before everything came together!

Fabricated at our Blaydon-on-Tyne workshop.

Hidden from view, built to make a statement.

Structural steel integrated throughout the surrounding area supports this white oak and glass staircase, creating its floating appearance.

Heard all the hype about laser welding, so thought we’d test it out. First go on stainless steel — still getting to grips with the settings and technique, but very impressed so far.

What do you think — game changer or just another tool in the workshop?

A fiddly job, but lovely to see them finished.

These little power boxes took a steady hand. Laser cut from 1.5mm mild steel, then fully welded and carefully dressed.

The client wanted sharp corners, so each box was made from separate pieces and welded together to avoid the rounded edges you’d get from bending.

From the 3D model to the finished fabrication.

A bespoke concrete hopper made for a well-known concrete paving manufacturer. We formed the curved body from hardox plate by step bending on our press brake, before welding and assembling.

Aluminium welding takes skill, careful preparation and control of the heat.

It’s one of the capabilities we offer in our Blaydon workshop, alongside CNC cutting, bending and fabrication. Here’s a recent aluminium project, from cut components through to assembly and welding.
