Sheet Metal Kerf

Does anyone have the GoFab branded Plasma unit and has cut thin sheet metal with it? If so, can you provide a photo of the cut quality? What gauge have you cut? (I'm interested in anything below 16ga to see the quality of)

I'm just unfamiliar with the cut qualities of any unit using PTM-80 consumables. I've seen Hyperthem's HD cuts with their special (expensive) consumables.

I guess a good metric I'm trying to achieve, is single kerf bend and fold lines. Say I have a box or enclosure I want to make, and corners require types of reliefs and cuts that could easily be done on a laser. But how far can you go down on this particular plasma before it becomes an unusable mess?
