I'd be in for 2.
304SS is OK for me. Please confirm the final gauge matches the gauge of the original.

Quoted from jasonspoint28:My piece has a thickness is 0.050”, which corresponds with 18 gauge. Thanks for all the responses, such great info. I’ll take the original to the water jetting place and see if he can match it.
Working with fabricators regularly, I have two comments.
1. If they are going to copy the original, be sure they don't copy the dents.
2. I suggest you have them do a sample of the design they plan to produce and test fit it in your game and compare to the original for accuracy before releasing the full run.
What is the price differential for the #8 finish. If not that much more that would be the easiest and closest to original.
If notably expensive I would be OK to live with the 2B which is the most common you will find with stainless plate/gauge material.

6 thousandths is hardly measurable. And depending on where that slight shortage exists, it could be inconsequential.
The clean cut is what is most impressive to me. There looks to be no need for any finishing before you ship them out to us.
Quoted from GSones:If needed I can easily adjust my CAD model to enlarge or modify it. Is the first picture the new one overlaid over the original? If that's the case, it looks like the right edge is the only side that needs to grow. Not sure if it's an optical illusion though. May be splitting hairs on this as this is the side that goes into the side rail anyway.
If the cut edge is rough and will need sanding to smooth it we should consider having the radius on the curve reduced so it ends up on the same radius. Maybe reduce the radius 10 mils.

Quoted from boilerman:any defects should be dealt with by the buyer. this way no one will blame you. they know what they are buying.
I'm with Dave on this one. Spread the load and let us sand ourselves.
In my experience hand sanding a single unit is effective in cleaning up a rough edge. This would be a low stress approach that leaves little opportunity to over treat it.

Quoted from ChipS:Thanks for posting. Since they're not much better than the one I have, I'll leave these for someone else who has a greater need.
You do realize he made these out of stainless steel. With some sanding and polishing they will never dull.
