I'm looking for a local waterjet machine in or around Sac. (Actually location isn't too bad as I can email the cad drawings I guess) Basically, I have some parts I need cut for trial fitting. The piece I need cut is .250 steel so it doesn't have to be too heavy duty.

If anyone has contacts please PM me

THANKS!!!

What are you trying to do? Does it need to be water cut, or can it be machined?

They could be machined, but what will take a waterjet about 60 seconds will take a mill about 10 hours. There are some complex curves, lot of holes etc, and it just a flat bracket. I sent a quote to the place in Rancho but they haven't called me back still, seems to be a problem in this industry. 10 RFQ's and not a sinle response. Oh well.
