Steel newbie here--
How is structural steel plate (say 1.25" thk, plan dimensions are ~48"l by 9"w) typically cut? Looking for the method (saw, plasma, laser, others?).
and following on the first Q:
Referring to the middle column of Table J3.4, what cutting methods constitute a "Sheared Edge" condition?
Obviously, thermal cutting is covered in the rightmost column. So, is anything without a rolled edge or cut using a thermal cutting process considered a "sheared edge" (in other words, could the heading of the middle column be changed to "all other edge conditions" or similar?)

For the second question, I've always thought of the third column as the "all other conditions" method. I would put a saw-cut edge in that column.

For 1 1/4" PL the plate is probably gas cut (maybe plasma). 1 1/4" is a little thick for plasma cutting.
No "cutting" method would apply to a sheared edge.
I believe with improvements in the shearing equipment, the middle column will eventually disappear from the spec. (just a rumor)
