Time to lease a waterjet for that shop...

With the hinky economy I wonder if any of the waterjet suppliers is
willing to provide a machine in your shop on a charge per hour of cut
time basis. Other industries are doing similar "capacity on demand"
where they give you a machine and charge you for use, or you pay for a
base use amount and get charged extra over that amount.
