Generally some sort of material is put inside the extrusion so that it only cuts through one wall; 233 has done this, and I believe they use a 4x4 piece of wood inside of 4x4 extrusion when they waterjet that. I'm not sure if it would work with wood when applied to a piece with only 1" thickness, but I'm sure there is something that would.
