When preparing to cut a plate test coupon for side bend testing is it allowable to use thermal cutting method leaving enough material to machine down to the proper thickness?

I know that requirement is in ASME IX (QW 462.2) but I cannot see similar in AWS D1.1 ???
only
Figure 4.12
b These edges may be thermal-cut and may or may not be machined.
Have I missed it somewhere (I only have 2010 edition) ?

Figure 4.13. It is noted on the detail of the top specimen. 4.12 is face and root specimens.
RE: Welder Performance Testing
Did a word search on "thermal" and it never came up.

In actuality iit is a requirement in many cases to remove the material however there are some cases where subsequent removal is not required.
In ALL cases with guided bend tests, refer to the applicable code or standard.
Have a good day,
