I'm ordering the first parts I've ever had lasered. (It's the plates for the body of the ring roller in my other thread.) I'm used to the angularity of a cnc plasma cut edge, which is a lot in 1" plate (at least on my setup), so I for a hole I'll later need to bore to size, I'd usually undersize the plasma'd hole quite a bit. My perception is that laser is going to be a lot less bevel, so I can probably undersize the hole a lot less, leaving less material to have to remove with the boring head.
How little undersizing should I be able to get away with? The holes will be matched pairs between the two plates, but I'll stack them on the mill and bore them together, so they should line up. Would it be safe to undersize the lasered hole .100" on 1" plate? (I don't know anything about the laser, other than that 1" is their max.)
Thanks!
