Waterjet Cutting – Mild Steel
Waterjet Cutting Is definitely the most effective way to precisely cut (Galvanized) Mild Steel. The video coming soon will show our unique Abrasive Waterjet Cutting Technique cutting .024″ Galvanized Mild Steel.
Laser cutters don’t like to use Laser on Galvanized Steel because it produces toxic fumes, so the advantage of waterjet cutting is obvious. This is another instance when waterjet cutting of a material is the only process that makes sense.
As another example of the precision waterjet cutting provides, you can see the snowflake we made for Christmas tree ornaments in the shop. The entire sheet was 4′ X 8′, which is a small piece for our machines, which are capable of cutting up to 10 feet by 30 feet.
We use a sophisticated program to program and run the waterjets. By nesting the parts efficiently, we can maximize the number of pieces we produce from the material. In the image, you can see multiple snowflakes nested together like a jigsaw puzzle.
Our PC controlled Waterjet Machine provides accurate cutting to meet your specifications.
We scanned the ornament shape and programmed the software for our waterjet machine to accurately cut the shape.
Thin steel cuts quickly and accurately, but thicker material requires slower speeds to maintain the same cut quality.
This ornament was cut from .024-inch-thick mild galvanized steel. The completed watercut edge is visible.
