FINAL CUT has invested in the best equipment available for waterjet cutting giving our customers the best possible cut edge quality and end product. We selected Jet Edge equipment for the CNC motion system, JetEdge intensifier pumps and Accustream cutting heads.
Waterjet cuts through material without affecting the inherent material structure. Because Waterjet cutting is a cold process, there is no “Heat Affected Zone” (HAZ). There will be little, if any effect on the material and no distortion or warping. This HAZ can be a major factor with Laser Cutting and even more so with Plasma Cutting.
When a part is cut using waterjet technology, secondary machining is normally not required. We operate our machine at 55,000 PSI to cut materials ranging from .010 inch thickness to 8.0 inches. Waterjet also helps achieve the best yield of material as the cutting area kerf (width of the waterjet stream) is .040" which allows uncut parts to be nested more closely together to achieve optimal material usage. The cutting area on our the cutting area on the Jet Edge machine is 48"x120".
Common materials we cut include: aluminum, titanium, steel (including heat treated or hardened), plastics, rubber, UHMW, foam, brass, copper, stone and ceramics. Chances are if your material is not listed we can still cut it.
