[QUOTE="Pete Appleton, post: 103082, member: 145"] Are you talking about the cut edge having scale on it or do you mean the flat surface of the plate? My local people go on about laser cutting in their advertising but usually just whack it through the plasma cutter because it is cheaper. To get a really nice finish on the cut edge you would need to use water jet cutting. How big is the item that you are having made? Starting off with a bar of bright mild steel would get you a nicer job, so long as you can find some to start with. Having it plough ground would also work but I am not sure of the costs.
