There was talk a while back about having metal parts cut by water jet machines. I do not remember anything about what the minimums might be.

Minimums are normaly down to 1 piece, but the programming charges get ya ;)

Waterjet cuts typicaly leave a bad burr on thin stock aluminum....Harder metals aren't too bad though.

Thanks for that information, never heard that aluminum would give a problem but good to know.

Low set up charges and minimums.

Frank from Chewbarka may also have some pre-cut blanks and or dies in various shapes....

Brian,

That's true. The company has a long history in die cut metal, but it may be limited to smaller pieces.
