Steve,
What would it cost for 7 plates at 400mm? I'd prefer round but can cut the squares into circles if not available.

Oxy will anneal the plate, at least a zone along the cut...heat is the enemy of AR plates

Oxy is the only way to cut it economically, unless you want to ride a grinding wheel all day.
