  Waterjet Cutting of Indiana
Picture

Q - Material Thickness:  What are the  capabilities of waterjet cutting?
A -  Waterjet cutting can cut materials up to and beyond 12” thick – including steel.


Q - Material Types: What types of materials can be cut with a waterjet?
A - Waterjet cutting is appropriate for most materials, if there is any question we can make a few sample cuts for you. 


Q - Accuracy & Tolerances: How precise are the cuts made by waterjet cutting? 
A - Depending on the type of material the typical cutting tolerances are as fine as .0015" and usually hold 0.005" for most materials.
Exceptionally thick materials (> 5") tend to be more difficult to hold tight tolerances on.


Q - Finished Edges: Does waterjet cutting leave a rough edge or burrs?
A -  Water jet cutting leaves an edge similar to conventional  machining and varies based on material type. For 
      the majority of parts there is no need for secondary processing or finishing.

Q - Minimizing Waste: How does waterjet cutting compare to conventional machining? 
A  - Water jet cutting allows for the maximum amount of parts to be  cut from a single sheet of material. Our machine's proprietary 
      nesting software helps us to optimize material usage, so we can pass the savings on to you.


Q - Environmental Concerns: Are there negative environmental impacts with waterjet cutting? 
A - No.  Water used in cutting is acceptable for standard drain disposal.  Our garnet abrasive - a natural crystal -  is separated and can be reused for sandblasting or reintroduced to the environment. There are no hazardous materials used in water jet cutting.


Q - Lead Times: Does waterjet cutting require a lengthy lead time?
A -  Water jet cutting is very fast and may be faster than conventional plasma, laser, or wire EDM machining.
       We keep out lead time to 1-3 day, for most jobs.


Q - Cost of Services:  Is waterjet cutting more expensive than conventional machining?
A - No.  In fact, water jet cutting provides efficiency that can provide a lower manufacturing cost than conventional 2D machining methods.
