Waterjet question - cutting through tubing
I was wondering... Can a Waterjet cut through tubing? For instance 4x4x1/8" Square Tube Aluminum? I know waterjets do great work with plate, but can they do the same things with tubing, such as cut isogrids.
And if so, would they be able to accurately cut the same pattern on the opposite side of the piece in one pass? (would this be different for different sized peices, say, 1x2?)
I know a CNC Mill would be able to do this, but just wondered if waterjet would be able to do it quicker and neater.

While [a college FIRST competition] would be pretty fun, I think that you'll see this build season that mentoring is a heck of a lot of fun too. (except when the kids pretend to cut their fingers off to see your reaction) - Beth Sweet [more]
