Waterjet Cutting

When flame, plasma, laser, wire cutting and milling, fail to produce the parts as desired then it is a simple decision to opt for waterjet cutting. Safeguard’s waterjet cutting process for your parts can provide a more detailed finish product than heat cutting or milling.

Why Should You Utilize Water Jet Cutting?

No Heat

• No slag or burr means excess grinding / finishing isn’t necessary
• Heat treatment conditions are not affected.
• Avoidance of micro-cracking or distortion of cut materials

Improved Material Usage

• Nesting & In-Line Cutting allows for more usage for sheet material
• Cut quality eliminates defective parts
• Near net shapes are generated

Better Cut Quality

• Ability to achieve sharp inside corners
• Clean holes eliminate deburring
• Pinpoint contouring to perfectly match the needed cut
