What is Waterjet Cutting?

Waterjet cutting is a non-traditional machining process that utilizes high-pressure water to cut through materials. This cold-cutting process does not generate heat, making it ideal for cutting a wide range of materials without altering their inherent properties. The process involves pressurizing water up to 60,000 psi or more and then forcing it through a small nozzle to create a fine, high-velocity stream of water. This stream, often thinner than a human hair, can precisely cut through various soft materials with remarkable accuracy.

Perfect for CNC Machine Shops

Waterjet cut parts are ideal for CNC Machine Shops looking to save machine time and wear while decreasing their lead times. Without a heat-affected zone or mechanical stresses, Waterjet cut parts require much less time and work to finish the parts on CNC Machines.

Abrasive Waterjet Cutting Provides Quality Finishing

A Waterjet cut finish is much smoother compared to plasma or flame cutting. The waterjet nozzle plays a crucial role in achieving this smooth finish by controlling the kerf width and producing an extremely fine water stream. The cuts are free of burnt edges, burrs, chips, and slag. Metal Supermarket Chicago (Villa Park) waterjet cutting services can save you unnecessary finishing time and costs.
