advantages of wjm over flame cutting

  • Abrasivejets provide a much nicer edge finish
  • Abrasivejets don't heat the part
  • Abrasivejets can cut virtually any material
  • Abrasivejets are more precise
  • Flame cutting is typically faster
  • Flame cutting is typically cheaper, if you can use it.
  • Waterjets would make a great compliment to a flame cutting where more precision or higher quality is required, or for parts where heating is not good, or where there is a need to cut a wider range of materials.
Do pre-machining, and save your other tools from having to do so much work
