Title: Plasma Guys -- need some advice
Post by: chad on February 07, 2006, 01:17:46 PM

I have to have some pieces plasma cut for the mill I am building. I would like to know if I can plasma cut a 1/4 inch hole in 3/8 steel. Or will it just make a bad hole? what is the smallest you can cut vs plate thickness? This is a 200 amp pro plasma cutter at a steel fab shop.

I would drill all my holes that I could.... we did some 1/2inch holes in 1/2 plate that were okay but I would still drill...
Hope that is some help.
