			Hand grinding a 22 or 45 bevel on (need to grab the specifics, was it 3/4 inch?) [[Mild Carbon Steel]] Plate will take you ~15-30 min per plate, hand cutting is probably ~30 seconds each, granted setup in between plates varies, this setup can churn out one every 15 seconds or so with [[Oxy-Acetylene]] , especially once you get in a rhythm
			*Not sure on applications outside of [[Test Plates]] (supposedly long cuts as well?)

			=Potential Improvements / Adaptations=
			*Could potentially be automated with a [[Bar Stock]] Feeder, and adjustable end stops (as well as either an auto ignite + flow control (akin to that being developed for the [[CNC Torch Table]] , or a [[Plasma Torch]]
			*The "tractor" should be simple and cheap to make, need to look into specifics
			*Could also use a form factor similar to the [[I-Beam Monorail]] to allow even using on-site materials as the track, have a modular wheel component perhaps for quick swapping?
			*Could also have a "rover" version akin to that [[CNC Router Rover]] project
			*Used for 1D and potentially 2D Cuts
			*May be adaptable to just use a [[Universal CNC Axis]] in a similar form factor to a [[Camera Slider]] ?
			*Should be MUCH cheaper that the ~4,500 USD Price Tag, and maybe even get more features in it!
