CNC Water Jet Cutting
CNC Water Jet Cutter is a tool capable of slicing into metal or other materials using a jet of water at high velocity and pressure, or a mixture of water and an abrasive substance.
Important benefits of the CNC Water Jet Cutter are:
- Ability to cut material without interfering with the material’s inherent structure as there is no “heat affected zone” or HAZ.
- Minimizing the effects of heat allows metals to be cut without harming or changing intrinsic properties.
- Capable of producing rather intricate cuts in material.
- The width of the cut can range of 0.04″ to 0.05″, but can be as narrow as 0.02″.
- Non-abrasive cuts are normally 0.007″ to 0.013″, but can be as small as 0.003″, which is approximately the size of a human hair. These small cutters can make very small detail possible in a wide range of applications.
