One of our sponsors just cut 1" thick steel for mounting forks to a front end loader that needed a perfect 2.25" diameter hole. They used a plasma cutter and didn't even clean up the edges. They are perfectly straight, perfectly sized, and fit like a glove. It is all about using the machine properly and with the correct settings.

Out of curiosity
What tolerance do you hold on the plasma cutter?
