Have you checked with a fab shop near you? I'm sure that if someone came into my son's shop with a DXF file and a piece of aluminum, he would run it for a reasonable price. It could well be cheaper than your time, wear and tear, and other grief without it. When current, speeds and tips are correctly selected, the cut is pretty clean. If you must have a machined edge, plasma might get you to within 1/16" at the worst. Go for an 1/8 to be safe. And that because the kerf is not perfectly parallel, especially in the turns. We have talked in the past about it as if it would some day come up. I have some 1/2" scrap from his work and the cuts are nice. Best, Dan. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
