Cutting 1.6mm mild steel with a CNC machine?

[Jonathan]

I only need a few made...so exploring options!!

How many's a few in this context? I can cut mild steel on my router.

I actually only needed half a dozen to get me going, but would have happily placed an order for a few hundred with the laser cutting companies...I went back to one & said "can you do them tabbed?" ....word came back that at just 3mm wide the edge would be ppor (after they blanked me on the first request I chnaged the size & went back to them 52mm x 3mm x 1.6mm).

It seems the human race can put men on the moon ...also, look at any cheap chinese product & it's probably full of steel widgets that are only 3mm wide...yet UK Plc seems to struggle with a fairly basic part request! (do you think we can hold our own on a global stage?)

In the end I hacked some (swearing & muttering as I went)...and now have what I need to get me going - so thanks Jonathan (& everyone else for their input)
