  Waterjet Tech - Waterjet Cutting Service in St. Louis, Missouri
Waterjet Tech, conveniently located in the Midwest near St. Louis, Missouri, specializes in robotic waterjet cutting.
By introducing garnet into the water stream as it exits the jets, our abrasive waterjet cutters are able to cut through the hardest of materials including stone and metals, leaving smooth, extremely accurate edges.
Waterjet cutting reduces the need for tooling and post-machining work as part edges are beautifully smooth and finished.

 Waterjet Cutting
Since the waterjet exerts such a small force on the food, it does not crush it, and with a small kerf width, very little is wasted.
Waterjet cutting is a very useful machining process that can be readily substituted for many other cutting methods; however, it has some limitations to what it can cut.
Waterjet cutting does not leave a burr or a rough edge, and eliminates other machining operations such as finish sanding and grinding.

 Waterjet Cutting - New England Die Cutting and Gasket Manufacturing - NEDC - ISO 9001:2000 Certified Facility
The waterjet cutting action takes place as a result of the ultra-high pressure water being forced through a pre-mounted sapphire orifice as small as.003 in (.076 mm).
The pressurized water exits the orifice at extremely high velocities as a coherent waterjet stream that produces a clean cut.
Abrasive waterjet cutting is a combination of water and garnet to cut through materials considered "unmachineable by conventional cutting methods.

 Waterjet Glossary
Because the cutting beam of an Abrasivejet or a waterjet is not infinitely thin, it is necessary to offset the tool slightly from the geometry of the part.
The primary disadvantage is that waterjet brick wears very quickly, and as it wears, it fills the catch tank with gooey plastic powder.
My recommendation is to put waterjet brick in a portion of your tank, and regular slats in other areas.

 Waterjet Cutting Applications | Flow International Corporation
Waterjet cutting technology is one of the fastest growing major machine tool processes in the world due to its versatility and ease of operation.
Waterjets require few secondary operations, produce net-shaped parts with no heat-affected zone, heat distortion, or mechanical stresses caused by other cutting methods, can cut with a narrow kerf, and can provide better usage of raw material since parts can be tightly nested.
Today, there is a trend by many job shops to add waterjets to their operations as a complement to other cutting technologies such as EDM, laser, milling, and plasma.
