Cymbal Repair using a Waterjet Machine

The cymbal above had a crack of about 1/2" inch so we decided to cut it with the waterjet since there's no heat involved thus not affecting the sound as much as a lathe machining would.

1. Crack

2. Resize

3. Repeat

If you keep doing that you'll end up with a Zil-Bel XD

@drummer790

How much is a new cymbal of any quality? $100 or more?

You could have this done for less than half that. It's a simple machine that cuts with water. I've seen them cut granite 3" thick.
