Water Jet Cutting Kerf Compensation
(OP)
Any standards in the industry? Local suppliers give me different answers. I submit dxf files and tell them what I want but that doesn’t seem to reach the machine operator. Any standards here I should know about? Thanks.

It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.

Supply a drawing of what you want, and let the operator figure out how to get there.

You are judged not by what you know, but by what you can do.

For info, this is one inch aluminum 6061 T651 plate. There was no significant (for our purpose) taper in the cuts. I had four of these cut at a cost of a little over US$250 each. It would have been over 300 for a steel fabrication ($fit up and welding$). It’s to carry some suspension bits for a car. A member of the team wants to offer plans to build the car and include all the dxf files needed for the parts with the drawings.
