The current price is 2$ a minute of pump time for members at SJ. 1323's bellypan last year was about 45-50 minutes a piece on a similar sized waterjet, so it would probably come out to about $200 per. Not super cheap, but I've had laser shops charge more than that just for setup even with a discount.
