I want to cut some intricate shapes from a sheet of stainless steel, and I need to know how clean and accurate the cut would be using a standard cnc plasma table (not high definition plasma cutting).
Basically, the accuracy is very important because I am looking to place the stainless steel shapes into laser engraved mdf e.g I would first laser engrave some shapes into mdf (to a depth of 1.25 mm), and then I would cut the exact same shapes out of stainless steel and place them into the engraved areas (obviously the engraved areas would be slightly larger so that the shapes would fit).
I have already tried doing this using shapes that were cut using a laser, and the fit is near perfect. But my question is would the shapes fit as good if they were cut using plasma (this is based on the plasma cutting the stainless steel at whatever speed etc would produce the best cut)? Finally, would the top edges of the plasma cut shapes be 90% or would the plasma cut the egdes slightly curved
