Re: CNC Plasma Cutting Chassis

In 2012 Team1325 got our chassis conveyor and shooter cut with a plasma cutter and then gave it to a sponsor to bend. It worked out very well all in all. The cuts were not clean and took a lot of niners...i mean deburring. Also small holes (0.25 inch)did not work well so we ended up just drilling most of them in.
I forgot to mention...it was a sheetmetal chassis 0.09 5052 aluminum.

CAD of the chassis:
