looks incredibly slow compared to plasma.

It's WAY faster than plasma when cutting phenolic or granite.
How much granite do you have on your Jeep?
Obviously it will cut any solid material, but it won't be cheap.
My plasma will cut bondo, but leaves a nasty kerf.:greg:

Central Valley Machine here in Cache Valley has a water jet. It really cool to watch I talked to a guy that claimed it would cut accurately through 6 inches of mild

Not to mention, no heat affected areas.
I wonder what a basic 2 axis water jet would cost. I'm sure it's well over a plasma table but possibly cheaper than laser? That's just really cool stuff.

A decent 2 axs water jet starts around $60,000

I am a huge fan of the water jet, I had a local company cut me some stuff for my new store. The guy had a 4 inch thick piece of steel there that he cut into a 1 inch circle (cylinder) then cut a 3/8 inch hole down through it. Pretty impressive machine.

wow! That's amazing
For the record - the above picture is not a FLOW wj head that is doing the 5 axis cutting (like the initial video). It's from WARDJet and it's their Psy-Winder cutting head. More info. here:
