WATERJET

The waterjet is a good compliment to CNC and the two EDM processes. Waterjet is a generic term used to describe equipment that uses a high pressure stream of water for cutting or cleaning purposes. Max thickness is 6” on a 5’ x 10’ table.

Take ordinary tap water and pressurize it to 60,000 psi (4,000 bar) and force it through a very small hole and you have a very thin stream of water traveling very fast that will rapidly erode most materials.

Waterjets can cut just about any material that can be made into a sheet and placed in front of them. The most popular materials are metals, because waterjets can cut intricate shapes precisely, quickly, and economically. Waterjets also commonly cut stone and glass, because the waterjet can get intricate shapes not possible using traditional machining methods.

The three types of equipment CNC, EDM and Waterjet, compliment each other so that internally we can do just about any job necessary.
