Water Jet Cutting

Waterjet Cutting Media

Waterjet cutting is performed by a waterjet machine.

Waterjet cutting technology is one of the fastest growing machine tool processes in the world due to its versatility. There are virtually no limits to what water jets are capable of cutting and machining.

A waterjet cutting machine utilizes high pressure water and garnet abrasives for cutting all kind of substrates, up to 8 inches thick, with no heat-affected zone and superior edge quality.

Machine shops are realizing greater efficiency and productivity by implementing UHP (ultra high pressure) water jets in their operations. Waterjets are becoming the machine tool of choice for many shops.
