Water Jet Machine Tools

Water passes through this opening and in the case of abrasive water jet cutting machine tools an abrasive mixture made materials such as garnet is introduced in the mixing tube to aid in the cutting of harder materials.

Water jet machine tools. New laser machines start around 350 000 and can easily exceed 1 000 000. A machine like this is priceless to us. It s much faster than machining it s faster than doing it by hand and it s fairly maintenance free. Finally cnc laser cutting tables are often the most expensive option.

Jet is proud to offer a full line of metal working tools and machinery. A water jet cutter also known as a water jet or waterjet is an industrial tool capable of cutting a wide variety of materials using a very high pressure jet of water or a mixture of water and an abrasive substance. Anything you can draw you can cut out of steel and for us that s priceless. The steep price is due to the expensive ultra high pressure pumps required to cut metal with water.

You can count on jet to bring you powerful metal working saws high peformance metalworking lathes precise metalworking mills drill presses metal forming machinery and finishing grinding equipment that help you get more done in the shop. With our unique system of interchangeable components you can always equip your waterjet machine with the latest innovations at a fraction of the cost. To cut a wider range of materials from tool steel to titanium to foam a granular typically garnet abrasive is added to the waterjet increasing the cutting. The waterjet is revolutionizing what we re trying to do as a motorcycle builder.

Water only systems attend webinar. Width length x axis y axis z axis accuracy in. If purchased used these machines will often cost upwards of 250 000. Jet is a full line tool maker of woodworking metalworking lifting system workholding air tools and shop tools since 1958.

Waterjet machining utilizes a high pressure stream of water to erode a narrow line in the stock material. Water jets use a focused stream of high pressure water up to 60 000 psi that is often mixed with an abrasive agent to cut many types of industrial materials including stainless steel inconel titanium aluminum tool steel ceramics granite and armor plate. Infinitely expandable and modular you can constantly breathe new life into your waterjet. Water jet cutters deliver clean cuts at close tolerances with good edge quality making them an ideal for many applications.

The water then passes out the nozzle at high pressure and onto the cutting surface below.
