Why are waterjets ideal for metal cutting? What are the benefits of using waterjet metal cutting machinery?

Waterjet metal cutting tools are the ideal choice for many reasons:

  1. Lack of Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ)
  2. Ability to cut harder materials such as Stainless Steel and Titanium
  3. Ability to cut through thicknesses of more than 12”
  4. Abrasive agents leave a smooth, polished edge with minimal kerf
  5. Cost savings from preventing the need for secondary finishing and subsequent material damage
