If they made an affordable mini-water jet/EDM I wouldn't be able to contain my toolrection and would bust out my credit card so fast the digits would fly off.
 
Pretty sure he's using stainless liners, if your using titanium just bend cold, it work hardens and will be springy.
 
Do you use a cross sliding vise when making the lock bar cut? or just slide a press vice around on the table?
 
drill press and xy table woudl cut them with the dremmel cuter (take it slow and light passes ) i cut them that way in my mill (im sure as hell not a folder guy tho )

as for the HT TI once you heat Ti up it is jsut about hell to work. not suer the how strong or stable but i once ran Ti up the temp scale for color even going as far as 1900f and it was pure hell to grind and cut. i looked at soem of the data but never took it all in
