Laser vs Water jet? - around here Laser tends to be less but has limitations. Thicker materials are best suited for water jet but the curf of the cut starts to be an issue...my laser guy can go to 1/8 alum or 1/4 steel. At work we can laser 3/8 steel. The high end newest lasers on the market can do upto 1" steel. Ive heard of water jet machines cutting granite several feet thick...so they are powerful.

In general lasers are more common than water jet.
