But you can't form, tap or bend with a laser.
Thats why they make combo machines laser punch
Errr... Not with small holes. (1/4"). The intense heat blows out extra material, and you get a jagged edge. The long runs looked better, but, being as the plate has about 50 1/4" holes in it, it looked pretty bad.

We burned these out of 1/4" steel. Perhaps with the extra material, a slower feed was needed, hence- jagged edges.
