Reply:You do some awesome work man! if you don't mind me asking how are u cutting the metal plate on these projects..... you guys have a waterjet or on a plasma? Im trying to do little things similar the projects you shown but im wondering if I should take the plans to a laser cutter/ water jet or invest in a plasma.
Reply:Thanks man! The flanges were made using a CNC haas with different endmills and the sheetmetal work was used on a turret punch machine or a CNC milling machine,
