Waterjet cutting is one of today’s fastest-growing technologies and is quickly becoming leading fabrication process. Waterjet cutting uses a high-pressure stream of water with an abrasive such as garnet to make the cut. No heat is generated during waterjet cutting, eliminating the risk of material distortion. Edge finish of waterjet machined parts is smooth and satiny, with no jagged edges, slag or burrs, eliminating the need for other finishing processes such as grinding.

How Water Jet Works

Water jet cutting technology utilizes high pressure water with an abrasive substance to create a cutting tool that travels at three times the speed of sound. With this tool, virtually any material can be cut with or without an abrasive in some cases. The Mitsubishi control, combined with a CAD-CAM generated CNC code, allows for simple or complex shapes to be cut. Speed and accuracy (with compensation is within ±0.005” per 36” length)
 are easy to achieve with the Waterjet Intelligent Taper ControlTM System.


Water Jet Cuts Virtually Any Material

Waterjet cutting is suitable for nearly any material, and can cut any material up to 6" thick. Some of the materials include:

• Aluminum
• Ceramic
• Composites
• Alloys
• Stainless Steel and Other Highly Reflective Materials
• Stone
• Titanium
• Tool Steel
• Plastic
• Rubber
• Foam
• Food
• And More
