ADX has a plasma cutter that I gave to them years ago. It can cut up to 3/8th steel (slowly and with the highest setting). It is not CNC. I have done many free-hand cuttings on it for my artwork.

Plasma is ok if your cut quality does not matter as much and you are ok with +/- 1/32" tolerances. The Steel Yard off Columbia has a couple Cnc plasmas. -Jerry On Tuesday, February 3, 2015, Steven Osborn < [email protected] > wrote: <blockquote> I plan on cutting 1/4" and 3/8" mild steel.
