I kinda figured the waterjet was expensive. A couple of months ago I went to the GWCC, same room where the Championship pits was held for an industry show called FABTECH. You had to have a pass to get in.

I looked at the waterjet stuff and it was very impressive. The machine I looked at had a 65 hp pump. The whole system had to cost 150K if it cost a nickel.

A team locally here got a plasma cutter the same size as the waterjet I was looking at. I think they got a real good deal. It only cost them about $ 25K. It doesn't do as nice a job as a waterjet but still it does a nice job.
