How much should it cost me to have my board cut by a waterjet? I got quoted $120 today but the guy was really confused on why i wanted my snowboard cut in half in the first place and sounded like he just threw a number out there.

I tried in Central Oregon and they said a minimum $100 charge. There is another place in HB, CA that was $20-$30. It's going to vary. If you can round up some friends and get them to keep the same fee for multiple boards, I imagine it could work. Guy here made it sound like a hassle.

It depends on the shop you are asking. If the shop has never had any experience, I can see way you were quoted so high. One of the shops I requested a quote asked me to provide the measurement specs for the board. The guy said it would take some time to input the info into his program. He seemed very nervous about performing the cut. I was referred to another shop with snowboard cutting experience. The owner said he would use a previous template and modify it to my board. I had my board cut for $62.

You might have call around to find a shop with experience or round up some friends for a bulk order as previously stated above.
