Google Checkout feedback confirms it: our customers love us

Most stores that use Google Checkout have listings on Google Shopping that shows their seller rating. We don't sell stuff that could be listed there, though; everything we make is custom! Thus, you, our customers, can't see our ratings. So I thought I'd post our ratings here for all to see.

Our average score is 4.8/5. Nobody has rated us lower than a 4/5. That's pretty darn good. Thank you, customers!

 
What is low-taper waterjet cutting?

Low-taper waterjet cutting is a revolutionary process that removes nearly all the taper found in parts made using ordinary waterjet machining.

Parts made with low-taper waterjet cutting are much more accurate, as the cut edge is square to the face of the part. It is highly recommended for thicker parts that must interface with other pieces along the machined edge.

Here are two parts both made from 6061 alloy aluminum 0.75" (3/4 inch) thick. The part on the left is made with our regular waterjet cutting service. The part on the right is made with our low-taper waterjet cutting service.


Parts with the same design.

The photo below shows the difference between a part made with our low-taper service and our regular waterjet cutting service. Both parts are made from 6061 aluminum. When each piece is placed on a flat reference surface and measured against a machinist's square, we can clearly see the difference in the results from the two processes. The part on the left deviates from the square, while the part on the right rests perfectly against the square.



Here is another view of the same two parts. This time, each is placed on its un-machined face and the side is measured against the square. The cut edge on the piece cut with low-taper waterjet cutting measures perpendicular to the reference surface.

Low-taper waterjet cutting.

Again, the low-taper part measures perpendicular to the flat surface and to the face of the part.

Roko's Amazing Quadruped Robot

From the blog of Canadian robot builder Roko comes this beautiful work in progress, a quadruped robot made using parts from Big Blue Saw.

Roko writes in one post "I'm still happy overall with the water-jet cutting, and would recommend it to anyone trying to make more complicated shapes or numerous parts. I wouldn’t have been able to make all of the more complicated/curvy cuts by hand as precisely and quick as the water-jet service does."
