CA, CA (prHWY.com) March 30, 2013 - California, Mar 30, 2013 - Water jet cutting services are widely used in engineering and building circles to cut a variety of materials. Water jet cutting differs from laser jet cutting in several ways. Understanding these differences will aid you, as a hobbyist or a professional, to select the best suited cutting method for your specific requirements.

Waterjet cutting uses a highly pressured jet of water to cut through materials. The high level of pressure required is achieved through forcing the water through a tiny opening at pressures of up to 60,000psi.

The resulting cutting action is similar to that of water naturally cutting its way through the earth, forming river beds over thousands of years, but performed in a fast and precise way.

This 'abrasive cutting' can cut through a variety of materials, and a large range of thicknesses, which is where water jet cutting holds advantages over laser jet cutting which has a limited range of materials and thicknesses on which it is effective.

Waterjet Cutting Services - Water jet cutting uses no heat, so it is well suited to materials that are damaged or adversely affected with the application of heat. Waterjet cutting leaves the structural integrity of materials intact, meaning it can be used on plastics, wood and other materials which cannot be cut using a laser cutter.

The actual downward and lateral pressure exerted on the material being cut is almost negligible, which means there are no fixturing costs and added hassle factors to bring into the equation.

Selecting the right cutter for your engineering or building project can save you money, time and the expense of having to replace a sheet or length of building material because of an imprecise cut.
