slag, cut taper, leadins and warping affecting surface level are all constant annoyances with plasma. I find it a lot easier to just send jobs to a waterjet shop nearby.

my friend did a lot of bulk plasma cutting, and his solution was to build a tumbler filled with abrasive and dish soap, and after a day or so the edges would be smooth and rounded. but that's certainly not a replacement for machined parts.
