razor sharp edges.

The problem with water cutting is that it leaves a V cut. The edge is not perfectly straight up and down which can wreak havoc when trying to machine something within spec. One fix is to cut from both sides and get an X cut, and another is to cut taking the V into account and then cnc down the edge.

The main advantage of water cutting is speed, and I'll bet this took waaaaayyyyyy more time to program the cutting tool than to cut through the console's even with the CAD programming interfaces.

I would love to see this in person.
