I'm looking for tips/recommendations for finding someone to do waterjet cutting for someone. I have a coworker looking to have a simple shape cut out of metal (they had wanted it forged at first). They are looking for a short run of 10-20 copies. With possible future runs. They are interested in it made from brass and/or steel (a mixture) and it will be incorporated into something they sell at craft shows. Here's my questions:
1) what would be an expected setup charge (in general)? And normal costs. (the object is roughly a 10"x2" ring shaped thing about 1/4" wide out of ~ 1/8" metal.
2) what waterjet cutters has anyone had experience with? who is good for small runs? etc.


All pointers welcomed!
Thanks in advance.
Jim
