Message: [QUOTE="me2, post: 359451, member: 3825"] Now I'm having tons of problems getting parts cut on a water jet/ laser table. I'm using the same company that cut my suspension parts 2 years ago. Back then I would email drawings and pickup 6 to 10 pieces the next day for $100. They have a new guy running things and he doesn't like my drawing files and the quotes I'm getting back are ridiculous. $100 for one plate of the exhaust manifold in 1/4" mild steel and $110 in 3/16" stainless. I need 2 of them to make the manifold. The small difference in material cost between mild and stainless tells me that most of the charge is for labour. At the prices he is quoting, by the time I do my engine swap, front and rear suspension builds and build an air ride 5th wheel hitch, I'd have a small plasma table mostly paid for. And I already have an 80A plasma cutter that I bought especially for putting on a CNC table some day. I'll get another quote before I jump the gun and start putting together a small plasma table.
