Circle Cutting Machine: Cut Clean Round Discs and Blanks from Sheet Metal for Heads, Lids and Flanges
Every dished head, lid and flange starts with a round blank, and the quality of that circle decides how well the next operations go. The SBFM Circle Cutting Machine is built to cut circular discs from sheet metal. Instead of burning or sawing a rough circle by hand, the operator gets a clean, round edge that is ready for dishing, flanging or welding.

What Is a Circle Cutting Machine?
A circle cutting machine, also called a circle cutter or circular shear, makes precise circular cuts in sheet metal and other materials. Industry sources note that these machines are used in metal fabrication to create flanges, pipe ends and circular blanks.
The principle is simple: the sheet turns about a fixed centre point, so the distance from the centre to the cutting tool stays the same and the result is a true circle. Because the radius is set once and then repeated, every disc comes out the same size.
What the Product Photo Shows
The photo shows a bench-type machine with a light grey body and blue panels. At the left, an electric motor and gearbox drive the head under a hazard-striped cover, which marks the moving area. A long horizontal bed runs across the machine, and at the right a C-shaped arm with a cylinder on top reaches over the bed. In machines of this type, such an arm is typically used to hold the sheet at its centre while it is cut.
The machine stands on two tapered legs with blue stripes and the SBFM logo, which gives it a stable and compact footprint. A blue lever extends from the head for adjustment and operation. Please confirm the cutting capacity, sheet thickness and diameter range for your project directly with the manufacturer.

Tips for Perfect Circles
Find and mark the centre of the blank before clamping it, and make sure the clamp is tight. Set the radius carefully and check it with a test cut. Industry advice also stresses the blade gap: if the blades are too far apart, the metal can fold over instead of cutting cleanly. Keep blades sharp, lubricate moving parts and cut from sheet that is clean and flat. Plan the diameter of the blank with the later forming step in mind, as a dished head needs a slightly larger disc than its finished diameter.
Part of a Complete Sheet Metal Forming Range
SBFM Machinery has built sheet metal forming machines in Konya since 1998. Alongside circle cutting machines, our range includes hydraulic dishing presses, flanging machines, polishing machines for dished heads, hydraulic roll bending machines, profile and pipe bending machines and special corrugated and grooved rolls. That means a single partner can equip your workshop from the first round blank to the finished tank head.
Why Choose SBFM Machinery?
Machines are designed, cut, welded, machined, assembled and tested in our own facilities, and our quality policy rests on customer satisfaction. We believe we grow together with our customers, so we listen first and recommend the model that fits your work, not simply the largest one. Technical guidance and spare parts help keep your machine productive for years.
How to Choose the Right Machine
- Sheet thickness and material, such as carbon or stainless steel
- Smallest and largest circle diameter you need
- Daily number of discs
- Clamping and sheet-handling needs
- Control level and safety features
- Floor space and power supply
Maintenance for Long Service Life
Lubricate moving parts regularly, inspect the cutting blades for wear and check the alignment of the rotating mechanism. Keep the bed clean and check the clamp and cylinder before each shift. A simple routine keeps cuts clean and the machine reliable.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the machine cut? Round discs and circles from sheet metal, such as blanks for dished heads, lids, rings and flanges.
Why not cut circles by hand or with a torch? A circle cutter gives a cleaner, rounder edge, saves time and delivers the same diameter every time.
How do I choose the capacity? Send us your sheet thickness, material and circle diameters, and our engineers will recommend the right model.
