I'm quoting some parts that that are shaped like a boomerang 5" thick from 6061 T-6. They will have to be machined all over afterward, but I'm thinking of having the blanks cut by water jet (subcontract, I don't have a water jet).. For that thickness, how much material should I have them leave on to machine after water jet cutting the blank ? There is a 12" radius in the the center, and the part is 20" by 20", and will average 1 3/8 wide when finished. We have had very little ever cut by water jet, so I don't have any reference.
