Waterjet Cutting
Why Use Waterjet Cutting?
- No heat-affected zone as a result of the cold-cutting process
- Clean edge with little secondary cleanup needed
- Minimal tool radius, even in thick materials
- Almost no taper in most materials using the 5-axis machine's taper compensation ability
- Ability to cut tapers into parts in one operation
- Tolerance of +/-.005 is common, and tolerances as close as +/- .001 are possible for certain materials
Understanding Waterjet Cut Quality
20% Cut Quality – An excellent finish with minimally visible jet lines.

40% Cut Quality – Our most common cut with great tolerance and excellent appearance.

60% Cut Quality – An excellent compromise to finish where cost is a concern.

80% Cut Quality – Our most common rough cut clean separation.

100% Cut Quality – It does not provide a clean separation and is not used very often.
