Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Aqua Jet Cutting My 2" Acrylic Viewport
Nice. I'm not sure about stresses set up by water jetting, but I'd
guess they are no worse than what a lathe would impart on the same
material. The only issue I see is the taper which could affect
performance since the port would not sit true against the window seat.
But I'm assuming a 90 degree cut can be achieved if the water jet is set
up to cut that way.

cut turned out really nice, and was ever smoother wave wise then the
inch think acrylic viewport I have that was cut with a CNC Laser for a
hyperbaric chamber. ( Note I don't know what the lasers cut rate was,
or how powerful of one it was) The laser cut surface is glossy, and
the aqua jet cut surface looks like it's been media blasted with
baking soda. The surface created by the aqua jet cutting is much
better for bonding the Seka Primer to. *
