When working with heavy-duty mesh, cutting it to size is often necessary to meet specific project requirements.
For woven and welded wire mesh with apertures larger than 6mm, an angle grinder is one of the most efficient tools available. It ensures clean, precise cuts while maintaining the integrity of the material.
This guide explores how to effectively cut heavy-duty mesh, focusing on both woven wire mesh and welded mesh with reference to The Mesh Company’s range of products.
Heavy-duty mesh is defined by its strong wire construction and relatively large apertures. These properties make it ideal for demanding applications such as fencing, industrial reinforcements, and animal enclosures.
We have loads of options available. For we have selected these examples for the purpose of this article:
