I say yes. If it's a duplicate of what is available commercially then what makes cutting it different then buying it. Other than possibly the fact that buying it pre-cut more costly.

Edit - I'm not thinking yes to something like "well lets cut plates for our gearboxes now, because we could buy them if we wanted too." I'm thinking "We have this large pile of scrap materials so let's cut off what we can use and throw it into one pile, and throw all the stuff we can't into another pile."
