I've asked this question to a few different people with mixed results. This part is made from .080" aluminum and has .080" slots cut into it (to interlock with other similar parts). I'm thinking about building or buying a cnc plasma table, but many/most of the parts I make are out of this material with these type slots in them, so I'm wondering if it's even possible to do this or not. Right now I'm having all of this stuff farmed out to a local laser/waterjet cutter.
Also, what's the minimum Hypertherm cutter I would need to be able to do the occasional cut on 3/4" alum? This is not a material I would run very often, but once in a great while. Can alum this thick be cut on a plasma table with good results and edge quality? I'm new to all of this, so thanks for any help you might be able to give me!
