Default CNC Waterjet cutting instrument holes

I have yet to find anybody who, when presented with unlabeled samples of Hexcell 7725 and Interglas 92125, can tell them apart.

As for the instrument panel cutouts, I am firmly in the holesaw camp--the carbide grit blades are great for that. I get a fair bit of stuff waterjet and laser cut, but only where it is the most cost- or time-effective method. For a round cutout and four screw holes, a good holesaw plus a template from the Schreder library makes it a five-minute job.

Thanks, Bob K.
