Water jet cuts a dead nuts clean cut. Plasma leaves a tiny bit of schlag on the back side of the cut edge, but it fall right off with a tap of a hammer, or some production setups they have a tumbler they throw the pieces in to knock it off.
The amount of shit on the back side of the cut depends on how well the torch is setup, amperage, kerf, stand off distance… But a fine cut tip in the torch, even in my hypertherm powermax 380, cuts 1/2" shit about the width of a pencile!
Also the stepping of the system is smooth, it will leave the edges very flat and smooth, no grinding needed. Either way a plasma CNC table is TONS cheaper than a water jet or a laser, and it gets the job done.
What TD plasma did u get? Sweet ass setup man! The time you will save using this is going to blow your mind I bet!
