You should put up some tech specs. Positional tolerance, profile tolerance, edge breaks, plate flatness, surface roughness specs (polished and unpolished). It doesn't need to be marketing speak: as you say it's a precise process and I think the average person would be blown away by what's routinely achieved. While people looking for non-decorative items may well really need the information.

P.S. Ideas for future features you may wish to offer:

- Laser etching (different machine, but ties in with the general business idea).

- Bending! Even at a simple level it would let people make accurate cases, brackets and sculptures from the pieces.

Actually we already provide laser engraving as an option! Bending is something another member mentioned a few minutes ago. This is an option for custom orders but I'm not sure that it can be "streamlined" in a relatively bug-less process - at least for a consumer client.
