![]() Very doable if you don't mind spending the time on them & as the material came free it would be rude not too
![]() ![]() I used a gas axe on mine, not as crue as it sounds when you know how to use one ![]()

1/16" cutting nozel 10 Psi Accet / 28 Psi Oxy ( Approx ) On 5mm plate you'll need quite a fast speed of travel when you are cutting .... Too slow & you'll get a build up of dross just as you describe ![]() It is very important that the cutting nozel is clean, especialy the centre Oxy hole. When you have marked the part to be cut out, it will help if you use a centre punch to mark the lines ( Every 10mm or so & closer on the curved parts ) Once you get the knack of cutting a reasonable line, it does not take long to fettle the part with a flap disc ![]()

![]() I am pretty sure I have a spare set of plates in 6mm already cnc plasma cut.
They mad need a buzz over with a angry grinder, just to take the suface rust off, and the holes might (unlikely) need a drill running through to make them perfect but they are yours for a few beer tokens. I think I also have to front wishbone plates again 6mm plate but with extra few cut outs probably lighter than the 5mm ones lol
