Kevin Lane Portland, OR Kevin, Tell them nice work. The only reason to not go with the cheaper laser cut is if you plan to machine the part after blanking. The laser produces a "crust" on the cut as it's a heat process. The water jet is like a continuous grinding process so it doesn't harden the edge. Since you are just going to weld on a ex pipe the laser is a great choice. Parts look great. Bill Jepson
