Machining/Water jet builds.

[EliG]

Hello! 

 

Wondering if anyone has ever had access to a water jet, machining/welding shop and if anyone has made any projects using CAD programs out of both metal and non-metal material.

 

 

Thanks.

Yes? It would help to know what you are trying to build or make.

I'm literally looking to build anything lol (Having access to a water jet and weld shop is a plus) I'm coming up on a lot of free time, so i'm just looking to see what others have done using this type of machinery.

Hi Eli,

 

I have a bunch of projects which require one or both of your machines. 

 

The following project is not on this forum, but has probably been my most successful to date (27,538 views and 662 posts):

I also had these parts water jetted in clear acrylic to perform a mock up for an aluminum frame:

For FISD, I'd like to water jet aluminum sheets for the E-11 end cap "notch ring" and maybe the front sight...

 

I typically use a company called Big Blue Saw.

They allow CAD drawings to be loaded to their server, then they cut the parts, package and send them.

Great service!

Sweet i'll definitely check those out!

 

Do you have those pieces for the E-11 drawn up yet?
