Custom cattle trailer

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.

I've only been around my neighbor's waterjet-still learning about the beast.
They are trying to get me to learn the software, for designing my project's.
I forgot about the kerf issue, Yes I understand your point.
The waterjet sure helped me out awhile back, I needed 3/4'' sqaure hole's cut in 1'' AR steel plate, for a crusher wearbar.
Thank's, Neil.

Big pile - a - pooooo..... Was down to the last bit of work last night and my chamfer tool slipped and ruined the whole top cover plate. Ordered a new one today... In a nut shell - the chafer is soo deep the flat head screws nearly pull through...... wp much for not running a test piece first.......

I like the trailer but what is with the top it looks like it overhangs all the way around the trailer.

Travis

[Izzy]

yes it does .... the fab shop can't form the tabs for the top to be flush - so their high by 1 mtl thickness....

a bit of a bummer - but I dont want to sprint for the several hundred $$ in tools..... yet...

That's Beautiful Izzy!!! I'm gonna need one soon. I'm building a layout in the yard based around having a cow processing plant. The Bull rack will deliver the cows to the cow pen that's connected to the processing plant. I also have a dump truck operation, that's going to be part of the layout. My computers down, and I can't upload any pictures yet. I can't wait to see the Million Lights lit up on this thing!!! Sweet Bull Rack!!!!
