Why Consider Water Jet Cutting Services for Your Next Project
If your next project requires precise, smooth cuts or even extensive cutting, you should consider using a water jet cutting service.
Water jet cutting is ideal when precision and smooth, crisp edges are a must, when precise repeatability has to be achieved, when the integrity of the material must be maintained and when cost drives the decision. It can cut patterns and parts that are smaller than a dime and larger than an SUV. Here’s what you need to know.
Four Benefits of Water Jet Cutting
- Cut virtually any material
Many cutting methods have built-in limitations for a variety of materials. For example, the heat generated by lasers can burn rubber and plastics, among other materials, and change the chemical properties of the material. Saw blades, as another example, can be slow and, worse, can leave burrs on the edges of the material being cut.
Water jets, however, can cut practically anything—from some of the hardest stone to extremely soft materials, such as foam core. In addition, water jets can handle:
- Granite
- Titanium
- Bronze
- Plastics
- Steel
- Rubber
- Ceramics
- Acrylic
- Aluminum
- Vinyl Composite Tile (VCT)
- Glass
- And much more.
- A perfectly clean cut with no need for finishing or rework
Another great feature of water jet cutting is that it gives you a fine clean cut every time without the need for post sanding or finishing. In short, one pass with a water jet and it’s done. As mentioned earlier, saw blades usually create edge burrs that need to be removed and lasers can warp or scorch the material they cut, rendering the finished product unusable.
- Environmentally-friendly cutting
Water jet cutting requires relatively little power, compared to other processes like lasers, and there’s little cutting waste and no harmful emissions.
- Low costs
When you engage a cutting service that can work with almost any material, doesn’t require post finishing, provides precision unmatched by other cutting methods, and doesn’t damage the materials, the end result is that you save money. In most cases, water jet cutting isn’t only the best option for custom cutting, it’s also the most economical.
