Out of curiosity, what feature(s) did you consider that lead you to choose a water jet vs a cnc plasma cutter/router table?

We have a cnc plasma cam. It's really disappointing for anything other than outline cuts for welding or decorative pieces. It has a hard time making round concentric holes and requires a lot of set-up and calibration. The heat also warps the metal and heat treats it. Our CNC mill/router is much more useful for robotics purposes.

For me, FIRST is inspiration with a positive feedback loop - it just keeps getting better. I wonder where it will go from here... - petek [more]
