    Any 5 axis water jet users out there?

    I'm researching what the capabilities of the precision 5 axis water jet are. Any one have any experience they'd be willing to discuss?
    regards,
    Ken

    I have some relatively complex workpieces that are currently being cut with 4 axis wire edm that are apparently too tough to do...I've offered this testpiece to several high end 5-axis manufactures, but the angled detail is apparentlyto small/narrow/intricate/complex to cut with much accuracy.
