I was in the shop today repairing some things and when I got done, I thought about doing some knife work. Problem is I don't have any knives rough cut out. I'd have to get out the Porta-band and cut one out. I HATE THAT PART OF THE PROCESS! It is aggregating and slow and......just pisses me off as blades run off the wheels, get bound up, break, etc.
I was wondering if anybody out there uses a plasma cutter to rough out profiles? I have considered getting one. I'd be cutting annealed stock. Anybody with experience with this? Would it adversely effect the HT process?
Also - is there anybody doing water jet cutting for hire? I'd gladly pay to get a dozen or so blanks of my design cut out.
