Plasma cut metal also takes a long time to finish and isn't as precise. Does anyone know how 610 hold's there sheetmetal in place on there router? I cant think of a way to do it without using wood as a relief material but it looks like there using something else in there pictures.

The team I was on had a CNC router. We used a big piece of plywood and wood screws to hold the metal down.
At
Metal Supermarkets a 6x37 sheet of 6061 0.125 would be $30, and a 6x37 sheet of 5052 would be $24. That is pretty cheap to me, considering you only need 4 sheets. Why 37", and what is your source?
