I haven’t posted an introduction thread yet and I thought this little cut would be a nice introduction. 🙂 Others have been nice enough to give my company good reviews and I appreciate that. So this little piece is 6" thick steel. It is just one reason I purchased a water jet rather than a laser. (I have also cut 7" thick aluminum) Like my website says, I can cut any material, any shape, any size, in any quantity.

That slot took 2 hours to cut and had less than .020" taper from top to bottom. ---

It will be a large rod Clevis. There will be a cross hole for a pin and the end will have a threaded hole to screw it on to a hydraulic cylinder’s piston rod. ---

^^Doesn’t jam like a chipper. If you are cut by one you have to tell the emergency room that garnet(stone) may have been injected into your blood stream at 4 times the speed of sound. As if losing body parts is not enough. Lol 8" tap? This ain’t the Flintstones, we mill threads that big. Lol That tap would take some serious torque. ---
