Why should I use waterjet or abrasive waterjet versus conventional cutting methods?
Cut Without Heat Jet Edge waterjet technology is ideal for cutting heat sensitive material. Costs due to thermal distortion of machine parts are eliminated. Risk of fatigue failure resulting from process induced thermal stressing and associated material structural change is minimized. Accurate Cutting Jet Edge waterjets can hold an accuracy of 0.005 inch with a repeatability of 0.001 inch over the entire work envelope. No Sharpening Required Unlike conventional cutting tools, waterjets cut with a supersonic stream of water that never dulls. With waterjet, you will never need to shut down to sharpen or clean blades. Minimize Dust and Toxic Fumes The practical elimination of airborne dust particles, smoke, fumes, and contaminates from cutting materials such as asbestos and fiberglass greatly improves the work environment and reduces problems arising from operator exposure. No Finishing Operation Required Selection of appropriate cutting parameters such as operating pressure, material fee
