How does Waterjet Cutting work?
Our waterjet uses high pressure water and a garnet abrasive to cut through steel plate. The water pumps and intensifiers are capable of producing 94,000 PSI. The stream coming from the nozzle cuts at the velocity of 1 kilometer per second.
Why choose Waterjet Cutting for cutting your alloy?
Waterjets do not have a heat-affected zone on the material while cutting to very tight tolerances.
Tolerances
