Sheet Metal Gauge Thickness Chart

Within the world of laser cutting, metal thickness based on gauge is a vital consideration. It’s something we use regularly at Cypress Metals, and something our clients should have access to as well. The table below is a simple resource that allows you to sort thickness by both inches and millimeters, for both steel and aluminum:
