Careful with waterjetting that thin of material, depending on what kind of machine you are using, you can end up with some pretty bad cuts.

When the machine begins the cut, it uses a much high pressure to first pierce the material and then it lowers it to actually run the cut. Sometimes the back of the sheet metal can blow out with that initial jump.

However, this can be pretty easily solved with the Omax jets (I'm sure Flow does this stuff too) they have a drill attachment that goes on the head to first drill through the sheet. Or you could opt to drill it yourself and then use the camera locating tool to tell it where to begin the cut.

This is an issue we are going to be facing this year. Luckily enough we have 5 pretty large laser fabrication shops that even have CNC press brakes that we are going to ask for sponsorship from.
