Re:How to make a CNC plasma cutter with high-frequency start by convolvatron on Wednesday November 11, 2026 @09:33PM (#50462355)
slag, cut taper, leadins and warping affecting surface level are all constant annoyances with plasma. I find it a lot easier to just send jobs to a waterjet shop nearby.

my friend did a lot of bulk plasma cutting, and his solution was to build a tumbler filled with abrasive and dish soap, and after a day or so the edges would be smooth and rounded. but that's certainly not a replacement for machined parts.
