I am finishing up a sweet project making a 21" clock with tons of inlays. I'm using my 100 W laser with a 24X34" nvable bed. Here is a redering of the clokk. I should have it done in another day.

They seem pretty OK on the mess side, but are more expensive to run than lasers.

I went to the waswercut web site and it looked really good. Seeing the guy cut that sprocket really fast. BUT when I moved down the web page where they showed the software setting up a cut it showed that it would take 96 minutes to cut the intricate sprocket at 1" a minute. It also doesn't mention... or at least I did see the maximum thickness of materials it could cut. Last the width of the cutting stream looked pretty coarse but that may be just the video. But the price is really, really good.... hey honey do you mind if I buy a waterjet? LOL
