It s much faster than machining it s faster than doing it by hand and it s fairly maintenance free.
Water jet machine tools.
The water then passes out the nozzle at high pressure and onto the cutting surface below.
A water jet cutter also known as a water jet or waterjet is an industrial tool capable of cutting a wide variety of materials using a very high pressure jet of water or a mixture of water and an abrasive substance.
Jet is a full line tool maker of woodworking metalworking lifting system workholding air tools and shop tools since 1958.
New laser machines start around 350 000 and can easily exceed 1 000 000.

The term abrasive jet refers specifically to the use of a mixture of water and abrasive to cut hard materials such as metal or granite while the terms pure waterjet and water.
You can count on jet to bring you powerful metal working saws high peformance metalworking lathes precise metalworking mills drill presses metal forming machinery and finishing grinding equipment that help you get more done in the shop.

Jet is proud to offer a full line of metal working tools and machinery.
Water jet cutters deliver clean cuts at close tolerances with good edge quality making them an ideal for many applications.
Waterjet machining utilizes a high pressure stream of water to erode a narrow line in the stock material.
Anything you can draw you can cut out of steel and for us that s priceless.
Finally cnc laser cutting tables are often the most expensive option.
A machine like this is priceless to us.
Water jets use a focused stream of high pressure water up to 60 000 psi that is often mixed with an abrasive agent to cut many types of industrial materials including stainless steel inconel titanium aluminum tool steel ceramics granite and armor plate.
Water passes through this opening and in the case of abrasive water jet cutting machine tools an abrasive mixture made materials such as garnet is introduced in the mixing tube to aid in the cutting of harder materials.
Infinitely expandable and modular you can constantly breathe new life into your waterjet.
It has the ability to cut almost any material while maintaining high precision.
To cut a wider range of materials from tool steel to titanium to foam a granular typically garnet abrasive is added to the waterjet increasing the cutting.
The steep price is due to the expensive ultra high pressure pumps required to cut metal with water.
