I'm curious as to why you chose to stack plates instead of just cutting a thicker plate? I can understand if it was really thick for cost purposes, like over a half an inch, but wouldn't it be easier for a 3/8 piece to just cut one from a thicker piece of metal? I suppose if you're laser cutting then thicker aluminum isn't an option on all lasers because of aluminum's reflective properties.

I've also always been curious, are your parts lasered of waterjetted?
