Also, since total price is a design factor, with a 4" dia. x 1" thick disc of Delrin costing between $15-$20, are you really saving money?
A waterjet isn't needed, a laser would work as well. Where did you get $15-20 bucks pricing for delrin that size? I checked McMaster which is usually more expensive than local places.

Pretty sure that is what he wanted and it comes out to $66 a foot and about $5.50 per inch. Excluding tax and shipping.
