Waterjet Cutting

Abrasive waterjet cutting is versatile technology which utilizes water pressure and garnet abrasive mixtures as cutting media. Waterjet cutting allows customers to receive near-net shape parts while maximizing material usage and reducing scrap. Benefits of waterjet cutting include:

  • Tighter tolerances 
  • No heat input in the component through the cutting jet 
  • No structural changes in the material, such as increased hardness and micro fissures. 
  • High machining accuracy and surface quality at the cutting edge  
  • No pollutants created during the cutting process.

Additional Services Available

Anodizing 

  • Electrolytic passivation used to thicken the natural oxide layer on metal parts.

Bending

  • Shaping various materials to meet range of customer needs.

Blanchard Grinding 

  • Precision grinding on large surface of plate.

Boring 

  • Cutting holes in large diameter bars without leaving solid drops.

Centerless Grinding 

  • Removing material from the outside diameter of round bars to improve surface quality.
