Can cut almost anything. Metals, rubber, wood, plastic, stone, etc. Here is a link to the shop we use no affiliation and too far away to be much use to you but has some good info. http://www.streamtekllc.com/JoeM5127https://www.blogger.com/profile/12265410482883491930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108382665458119460.post-37030374365219559792017-02-10T16:46:30.599-05:002017-02-10T16:46:30.599-05:00And what kinds of materials can water jets cut?And what kinds of materials can water jets cut?Steve Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05110351547045693224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108382665458119460.post-220436709756636002017-02-10T16:02:18.351-05:002017-02-10T16:02:18.351-05:00what type of tolerances can water jets achieve?

Also opens the door for benchwork materials other than plywood, maybe gatorboard, styrene, or some other kind of heavy resin coated board material. Instead of outsourcing, I am contemplating a county adult learning course or makerspace membership that comes with access to CNC routers and laser cutting. Looking forward to hearing about your adventures with this technology.Steve Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05110351547045693224noreply@blogger.com
