Advantages of Water Jet Cutting
Versatility
Harnessing the power of water to cut metal, yet gentle and focused enough to cut delicate materials, water jet cutting offers the widest variety of cut material types and sizes.
No Heat Affected Zone or Warping
Since heat is not used in the cutting process, metal and other sensitive materials can be cut without changing their inherent structures. This eliminates the work hardened zone found on laser, plasma or torch tables, leaving parts ready for secondary operations like machining and welding.
Finished Edge Quality
By adjusting cutting speeds, the water jet produces a range of finished edge qualities. Numbering 1 – 5, a #1 cut offers a cost-effective means to blank material to size while a #5 cut offers tight tolerances and a high finish quality. Let’s us help determine the correct # for you.
Rapid Prototyping
With multiple tables we can produce your parts quickly.
Cuts thick material
We’ve cut slabs of 14 inch thick titanium and 21 inch thick cobalt!
Cost-Efficient
Using the latest in nesting software, we make sure your dollar goes further by saving you money on material.
