Aqua Jet, LLC Cutting Services specializes in providing quality part production at competitive rates. The versatility of our state of the art water jet cutting machines is apparent in the wide variety of materials in which they can cut. Water jets can cut virtually all materials due to the lack of heat-affected zones during the machining process. They also eliminate the need for secondary finishing operations because they cause no heat or mechanical stress deformation to the part.

Our commitment to quality and service is backed by our extensive knowledge of the water jet cutting process. We have experience working with clients in many industries including metal fabrication, architectural, aerospace, medical, government, sign and display.

Technology and Advantages

Technology		Water jet cutting machines force a high velocity water stream containing abrasives through a jeweled orifice. This action leads to an extremely high pressure (60,000 psi) fine jet of water which can cut virtually any material. This combination of water pressure, abrasives, and high velocity erode the workpiece creating the cut.

Advantages		Water jet cutting maintains tolerances that are comparable to laser cutting. It is faster than EDM machining (electrical discharge machining) with lower capital and operating costs. Among its many benefits, water jet cutting is environmentally advantageous. Low cost No hazardous gases or liquids provide a safe working environment No heat affected zone nearly eliminates the need for secondary finishing operations Narrow kerf High precision allows for intricate cuts Quantities range from a single piece to high production No tooling changes Fast set-up
