tbh a good plasma cutter with a straight edge will do the same job and cheaper.

Ooh an excuse to get a plasma cutter! Tbh I've got enough stuff to cut one out but it'd be a pain! Just easy to pick up a dozen identical ones!

plasma is still cheaper, time on a waterjet will cost big bucks

3mm alu checker is a easy to cut with a jigsaw, with the right blade in it

Not thick enough for me! Prolly ok for the odd green laning bump but can't assume that's all it's gonna do! I abuse the crap out of mine. Thinking min of 6mm poss 8! Mantec ones are 8 and just plain sheet, cos its cheaper!

8mm can still be done with a jigga, but will be slower to cut.

like you said earlier if you can order it to size that would solve the pronblem.

Other option is guillotine to basic rectangle then trim the farty bits out and drill holes
