What is waterjet cutting?•Waterjet cutting is…
▫A method of manufacturing that uses a high pressure water stream to cut through material Pressure of the water gets up to (and
sometimes more than) 60,000 PSI Water exits the nozzle in the cutting head
with a cutting diameter of 0.020” to 0.060”

What is waterjet cutting? (cont.)• Waterjet cutting…
▫Uses garnet abrasive combined with the cutting stream to cut through the material
▫Processes up to 12” thick material This includes:
Rubber Stainless Steel Carbon Steel Plastic Copper Brass Armor Plating Aluminum

Advantages of Waterjet Cutting•There are no heat affected zones (HAZ)
▫The material does not get warped, discolored or hardened
•Ability to manufacture burr-free parts▫No jagged edges or burrs
•Near net shape cutting▫Eliminates the need for secondary
operations•Can cut through thick materials
▫Up to 12” in thickness

Non-Abrasive Waterjet Cutting• This process uses no abrasive in the cutting
stream, just high pressure water• Used to cut soft, thin, or porous material
▫Silicone▫VCT (tile)▫Foam▫Felt▫Cork▫Teflon▫Neoprene▫Composites▫Plastic

Why use waterjet cutting?•When companies outsource work to
manufacture their custom products proficiently, waterjet cutting is often an advantageous option
•Waterjet cutting allows for fast turnaround times▫It’s also a very efficient cutting method
No burr No heat affected zones Multiple head cutting allows nesting of parts
which is like ‘multi-tasking’ for the waterjet, as it is able to cut numerous parts at once
