Advantages/Benefits of Water Jet Cutting

Water Jet cutting has many advantages over laser and plasma cutting technologies as well as other beneficial qualities that aid in producing high quality cut parts.  Highlighted below are some of the advantages/benefits of Water Jet Cutting

Materials-  Water Jet Cutting is able to accurately cut a large variety of materials within the tolerances needed.  Some examples of materials able to be cut are steels, alloys of all types, aluminum, wood, stone, marble, composites, plastics, and rubber to name a few.

Tolerances- Water Jet Cutting is able to hold very tight tolerances, in some circumstances it is possible to hold tolerances tighter than .005". 

Heat-  There is no heat affected zone in water jet cutting. This is one of the advantages over plasma and laser cutting.

Clean Up-  In water jet cutting there is no slag and little to no burr left on parts. This eliminates secondary finishing operations such as sanding and grinding.
