How to cnc cut 1-2mm stainless sheet ??

TBH, plasma would be a last resort as the finish usually requires a bit of fettlin'. Stainless will cut OK on a mill if you use Cobalt tools and suitable speeds and feeds with plenty of coolant.

On an 8x4 sheet I think plenty of coolant would be fun to say the least LOL I was wondering if it would be worth advising him to get a tool made for a press rather than a CNC..

Shearing would probably be the cleanest method but it depends how complex the piece is. Another off-the-cuff option is a CNC nibbler. Never seen one, but I'm sure they must exist.

In 1 to 2mm stainless a laser will give a very clean edge, yes I know they are expensive but you sub con the job out and pay by the cut inch [ or mm ]
