Our Model 4800 Flow Waterjet with a 4' x 8' platform will precisely cut virtually any material clean and to close tolerances.
Why Waterjet Is Better
Low Cost: Our abrasive waterjet machining center uses your existing DXF files or other CAD drawings. No costly dies, fixtures, or elaborate CNC programming required.
No Minimum: Low start up costs allow for inexpensive, highly accurate production for quantities as small as one.
Fast Turnaround: Working from your DXF drawings eliminates the need to wait for dies or fixtures.
Highly Precise: Cuts to 0.005".
Smooth Flat Cuts
No Heat Buildup: The use of a cold process eliminates HAZ (heat affected zone) melting and structural changes.
Less Waste: "Parts nesting" provides optimum use of sheet materials, reducing scrap and saving you $$$.
With the ability to cut virtually any material up to 6" thick, the applications of water jet cutting are endless.
