    Hi Yepez

    Water jet is what you need to research.
    First you get good, then you get fast. Then grouchiness sets in.

    Hi!
    I program/ repair waterjets I would think it would be a very expensive thing to hobby with.
    I imagine the water would be very hard on MDF. lol

    Flow automation is the manufacturer that we deal with.

    Laser machines are more money than waterjet and plasma is way cheaper.
    A standard waterjet size would be 5 x 10 and they are $150,000 USD (laser about $100,000 more). Here are some links

    Do a net search. There are more big companies than this
