Waterjet Cutters

Waterjet cutting specialises in cutting hard materials like granite and metal. The machines, used for these applications, use high-pressure jets of water. The water can be mixed with sand or another strong, abrasive substance for faster processing.

Waterjet cutting is preferred for materials that don’t handle intensive heat well. Most factory machine parts are shaped using this process. The aerospace and mining industries also rely heavily on waterjet cutting.

The use of water prevents any change in the material's intrinsic properties due to heat generation, making waterjet cutting perfect for the most intricate material cuts.
