1/8 aluminum on a Torchmate CNC plasma cutter. Flooding the surface with water while cutting kept it from warping. While it doesn't give the best edge finish, it is much faster than a CNC mill and will handle much bigger pieces. We've been able to cut a lot of lightening holes in aluminum tube as well.
