I have an idea for some stuff that would need between 1/16 steel and thicker cut. The thicker cuts, the better- I saw online that water jet can cut inches.
-Is there a place around Denver that will do that kind of thing on a small run basis?
-What are the cost drivers? I assume space in the machine, length of cuts and depth? Is cutting a shape four times a X thickness cheaper than one time at 4X thickness?
-If you are cutting thinner material, all three methods are viable it seems, but for thicker >inch, the water jet works better?
Looking to get parts from about the size between a dollar bill and a credit card, plus some rounder parts the size of a 50 cent piece. The bigger ones would be the thicker ones.
