Using them has probably cut my fabrication time by at least 20 - 25%. Agreed on the round corners and curved contours; just get 'em close and resort to the grinder. It's still less time consuming than dragging out the torch or plasma cutter and then grinding.., and grinding.., and grinding...
For my final finish work on edges I use a little angle die-grinder with 3" Roloc 60 grit disc.
