I have a little problem here
just did a job in ss 304 plasma cut round slugs. it was od 145mm with an id of 90mm and 20mm thick. it needed to be turned to od 133mm id 97mm and 15mm thick.
not the bloody thing just eated inserts on turning the outside diameter that had a huge tit on it from the plasma cutting.
after doing those 25 parts they complain about the price that it was more then double the the steel ones i did some months before and asked what could be done to make it cheaper.
I dont know a thing about watercutting but i assume it doesnt work harden the OD as much as plasma cutting and it would be runder to start with, But would it be much more expensive then plasma cutting?.
the reason why i havent opted for water cutting in the first place because my customer supplier the slugs himself.
