Here is a picture of Mitch and Alberto waterjet cutting (6) pieces of ¼” & 1” Stainless Steel 304 ELC Plate cut to 12” x 18” rectangular shape with a diamond cut pattern within. They cut two at a time which still took 8 hours to complete one set.
Cutting a 2-1/2” hole in a 6” x 6” x ½” hot rolled angle becomes easy after little ingenuity mixed with years of experience. Lorenzo created a jig to hold the angles in place out of a rem of square tubing.
