Hoosier Waterjet
There are a number of soft materials that can be cut with water only, a non-abrasive cutting method. Our Dynamic WaterJet is ideal for projects that involve a thin, soft, and/or porous material. For example, when cutting porous materials, an abrasive may often become trapped in and on the material, leaving a dirty appearance. Our Dynamic WaterJet produces parts that are completed with a much cleaner finish.
Water only cutting is recommended with the following plastic and soft materials:
Plastics
Acrylic
Rubber
Teflon®
Silicone
Foam
Composites
Nylon
Felt
Cork
Neoprene
Insulation
There is virtually no heat transfer during waterjet cutting, ensuring little heat distortion.
One piece to many pieces, we will be glad to cut your material as fast as possible.
Close tolerances, of plus or minus 5 thousandths of an inch (+/- 0.005"), are possible over the entire length of the part.
We allow input during the quoting phase to ensure that the part is not over specified. By allowing the customer to select multiple tolerances, or edge finishes on the part in various areas.
By using our First Article cutting option, you can make sure that the part meets all the requirements before production cutting begins.
From metals like steel, aluminum, stainless and even tungsten carbide.
From as thin as 0.018 inch to 4 inches! Thicker material cuts are possible, but take a really long time to cut through.
Pieces can be cut from sheets or plates as large as the table. Larger format allows for nesting of parts to achieve the best yields possible.
