After having a scan though the thread i also think it's very overkill at 50 mm. You mentioned about slots... why does the plate need to be 50 mm due to slots? what are the slots for, application? 50 mm plate a very big lump you could bolt a 20 hp motor to that and take 3/4 inch cuts with no issues in Ally.... just to give you some perspective.
Your best bet is a metal stockist rather than a profiler in my opinion, A profiler will making profit and the material bought from a stockist.
Richard Austin Alloys 6082 700mm x 300mm x 50 mm £150 quid Price to me 30 min ago. Plate cut which is far faster and cheaper than any profiling in Ally. Thick materials from profilers like ally is not cheap. Laser tons of power if they can cut that thick which i doubt they can.. and its likely to be a very messy cut indeed. Water jet very slow on that thickeness means expensive. Plate cutting is neat and fast. 50mm is total overkill though. I can't see 50 MM is needed unless you are making a miltary armoured personal carrier.
If you have a drawing plonk it up and better advice can be given.
What’s plate cutting? You mean with a big old travelling band saw?
