Because of the variation in thickness as the Laser or plasma beam goes along, I'm guessing that a constant feed-speed wouldn't work...
And a thin/large diameter grinding/cutting wheel would heat up quickly and leave heat scars...Maybe with water-cooling???
Surface grinding would do the job, but again, you'd lose half the metal...
