Re: pic: Iron Lions plasma plate

Looks pretty good!

Over the past few seasons, we've been doing a lot of work with the plasma mill one of our alumni built.

Just from experience, you're really going to want to undersize and drill/bore/ream all your precise holes.

As for your missing chunks, they look like they're probably just machine slop, but they look large enough to potentially be small tool path errors. (At least on those circular holes in the corners.) Not sure what sort of access to your machine you have, but I'd try and see if you can further tune/calibrate it.
