Inquiry on waterjet w/ z axis

[lecompte]

New to this forum and cnc. I am a designer specifically prototyping on light fixtures (at the moment). Hoping to generate some advise and suggestions to my plight.

I would like to know if anyone does waterjet with z axis to perforate an AL cylinder 6061-T6 at .032" thickness at outer diameter of 4.375" and 5.875". These 2 diameter measurements are for 2 separate corresponding parts.

What diameter are you wanting the hole or holes?
What does the "Z" axis have to do with perforation?
Yes, you can blow a hole in .032" T6.

Thanks for responding. The z axis is presume what I need since this is an aluminum cylinder it's not gooing to lay flat. The perforation will be squares of 2" x 2". But then again, my question I need someone who can perforate on an AL cylinder, and how much will it costs? I need 2-3 pcs of varying perforations as prototypes.

There is a RFQ(Request For Quote) scection in CNCZone. You may want to post in that area. This part would need at least a four axis machine albeit abrasive waterjet or mill.

Thanks a lot. I'll post it there.
