We have a laser here that we cut all our sheet metal with. These pieces are cut from .05" or 18 gauge. I can cut thicker up to 1" but at that point the slag on the edges isn't too pretty.

I was thinking I can cut custom 914 emblems if that is of interest to anyone.
I have the pins mapped out if that makes any difference.

18 gauge thick $12

thicker stuff will have to be priced out accordingly.
