Our WaterJet System can cut through materials ranging from
1/16" (1.6 mm) to 10 inches (254 mm) thick with an accuracy of
+/- .005 inch (0.13 mm). It doesn't leave
burrs or heat stress. It cuts almost any kind of flat material
up to approximately 10" thick, including mild steel,
stainless steel,
aluminum, glass, plastic, granite and marble, titanium, rubber,
plexiglass, lexan, and tile. Our WaterJet
System can cut 6'x12' sheets, and the design is limited only by
your imagination.

Why Choose WaterJet Cutting?
1. WIDE RANGE OF MATERIALS
We can cut a wide variety of materials, ranging from mild
steel, industrial metals, ceramics, composites, glass—even marble and granite.
2 .
Quality finish
Our WaterJet System leaves a
smooth, sandblasted finish. No rough edges, burrs or jagged
ends.
3.
No heat in machining
process
Because our WaterJet System uses water and abrasive, the
material is not heated up significantly during the cutting
process. This makes waterjet cutting ideal for
materials that are affected or deformed by heat, such as
titanium.
4.
Environmentally friendly
Our WaterJet System uses water and garnet to cut.
Garnet is an inert gemstone, which can be disposed of in the
municipal waste stream. No toxic fumes are produced during
machining.
5.
No tool changing
You don't need to change cutting tools with our WaterJet
System. One nozzle is used to machine all the
different types of materials and shapes, saving time and the
expense of multiple cutting tools.
6.
Quick to program
You can send us drawings, CAD or .dxf files of the parts
you need and we'll take it from there. We'll import your
files, program them into our WaterJet System, and call you
once your parts are cut and ready to go. You can even trace over a
photograph or bitmap image. In addition, OMAX machines are
supported by a wide variety of third party software products
such as CAD/CAM, Nesting, and scanning. 7. Fast set-up and programming
Our WaterJet System software calculates the exact position and cutting speed
of the nozzle at a resolution of over 2,000 points per inch
(800 points/cm). All you do is specify the material and
thickness and we do the rest.
8.
Complement existing tools,
used for either primary or secondary operations
We can also work with your other machine tools to take
advantage of the unique capabilities of each. An example of
this is roughing out nested parts on our WaterJet System to maximize material usage, and then performing
final machining on a mill or machining center.
9.
Reduce setup times
Little or no side force on the material being machined
reduces the need to complex fixtures and greatly speeds
setup times.
