Default Water Jet

All,
Just bought the plans for the Badland Buggies ST4. I know a few of you do not like it. Anyway what do you think should be a budget for waterjet cutting the peices. I know you dont have the plans but looks to be about 50 pieces. Also looking for a CV joint solution for this buggy.
Thanks!
Tim

If you have CAD files you can get some good prices on laser cutting over water jet. Laser takes less time so each part cost less.

Look up GK Machine on the net for great prices and service. I have all my laser parts cut at GK Machine.

I agree 100% on the laser. We have a waterjet, BUT we cut alot of plastic, corrosion resistant rubber, and ALOT of stainless. With water there is no heat generated, so it is ALOT easier on tooling after cutting.

2k?!?!?!? It would not be worth that if it was delivered by a hot female who stayed the night to make sure the parts fit! ;]

Maybe if she was realllllllllllllllllllllly hot....
