Waterjet Cutting Advantages
WaterJet Cutting offers many advantages including:
• Cuts virtually any material
• Cold cutting – no heat affected zones, and no hardening
• Omni-directional cutting – ability to cut in any direction
• Perforates most materials without starting holes
• Net-shape or near-net-shape parts (no secondary processing required in many applications)
• Environmentally friendly
• Reduces dust and hazardous gases
• Provides stress-free cutting
• Saves raw materials (small cutting kerf width, nesting capabilities)
• Faster than many conventional cutting tools
