[simpits-tech] GA to PC headset adaptors

[Joseph Fagner]

Hey steve, what kind of prices would a guy like me be looking at for cutting
parts, from say, 4x6 foot sheet 1/8 6061 aluminum on the water jet?  What
kind of files would you need?  We can take this to PM if needed.  Thought it
might be informational for those looking into cutting some parts this way.

Jay

Yup, they're good. Shapiro Supply is good too. Unfortunately neither has a 
particularly good stock of titanium or acrylic. I need some of each for a 
few projects.

By Sunday I'm so tired that I sleep for 14 hours and have no time to do 
anything. Speaking of sleep, I better get some of that. Have to be up and 
moving in 5 hours. If they haven't hired more people to get this work done 
they're screwed. I'm not working 6 12s after next Friday, end of story. I 
might not be the best machinist in the world, but I'm 100 times better than 
anyone else there and by far the most accurate person that's ever made a 
part in the building. I can hold .0005" over a foot. Everyone else is more 
like .0150", though they are using CNC punches. I make the waterjet look 
like a 1st grader with those annoying safety scissors ;)

He who seeks will find, and he who knocks will be let in.
