It is many years since I saw water jet cutting, and even longer since I had
anything to do with laser cutting.
In both cases, there were limits on thickness, material they would cut, etc,
and the quality seemed to vary widely with different operators.

I know that things have improved since then, but what is the latest on such
machines?
Advantages and disadvantages of each, materials, thickness, tolerance, 
surface finish, etc.

Anyone have any recent experience?
