Re: WaterJet Needed

That can also be done on a CNC plasma cutter. Check with your local welders-for-hire.

Lots more CNC plasma cutters out there than waterjets.

Re: WaterJet Needed

Thanks Clint, I actually talk to them and they put me in contact with a company called B&G Metal Art, I have talked with them but they seem a little high

I was afraid the Plasma would leave a rough edge that would need finishing before I powdercoat them but maybe not??

Re: WaterJet Needed

I would get them laser cut, no rough edges, water jets are just too expensive for most companies , laser cutters much more common

Re: WaterJet Needed

six-t-seven - it is the logo at top of the page and I am wanting 4 of them cut out 8''wide by 6'' tall (approx.) 1/8'' to 3/16'' material. I am wanting to powdercoat them and make tabs to have these as a stand off of the rear diff covers of a couple of our trucks
