Edge Finish
 |
Edge Finish: Edges produced by plasma cutting depend on both material type and thickness. Edges appear to have small gouges in them that are caused by the plasma cutting the material.
Please note: Plasma cutting material thicker than 1" in aluminum and stainless give edges where the gouges are more pronounced.
