Oh, I forgot to mention -- because of how plasma cuts, you can sever twice the thickness it's rated to if you can get to the opposite side of the piece. This is a LOT harder with OA than it is with plasma, though OA also cuts thicker stock (crank that oxy!). I have cut 1" with our shop cutter, which is rated to sever 1/2". (Couldn't find any torch tips bigger than 00. Oxy cranking only goes so far.)
