40D Plasma and 16GA

All I can say is "WOW". Needed to cut some small panels for my project 1966 Toyota FJ40. Needed to rip a couple of small sheets of 16GA steel.
Lined up a 1/4" thick scrap of wood as a guide. Left the 40D set at 40A and 70PSI from a prior job.
Did a drag cut and pulled as fast as I could. Took less than 2 seconds to cut the 18" length.
As you can see from the pictures that follow, it was as clean a cut as a sheetmetal brake could have done.


There's my straight edge and the cut sheet.


I call that a clean cut. Maybe a hair to fast, but worked out great.


And this is where they're being used.

I should have purchased this plasma a 18 months ago when I started this project.

Here is a little better view of the project:
