KMT Waterjet Cutting Process
Waterjet Cutting is: An aggressive erosion
process using energy focused in a stream of highly pressurized water.
Abrasive can be mixed with water at the last moment to cut through hard metals, stone, glass or pure water only to cut food.
(Think of the Grand Canyon Created in One Day!)
Garnet:Most widely used, cost effective and best balanced performance. Fine particles of sand.
Aluminum Oxide: Very aggressive, increases wear of focusing tube and abrasive mixing chamber. Specialty applications.
Silicon Carbide: Very aggressive, increases wear of focusing tube and abrasive mixing chamber. Specialty applications.

KMT Waterjet Metal Cutting Benefits
Cuts Complex Shapes without discoloring or melting metal
Minimal Tolerances (at ±0.003") Can Pierce Material directly
without the need for a pre-drilled starter hole
High or Low Speed surface pressure flexibility for thick or sensitive materials
No Dust or Toxic Fumes – Garnet is easily disposed or re-cycled
Single or Multiple Cutting Heads Thick or Thin, Waterjet cutting is
the most flexible process in manufacturing

KMT Waterjet for Cutting Metal
Waterjet cutting is one of the most versatile cutting processes around.
Well suited for high-performance metal cutting, waterjet technology, when used with an abrasive additive, creates a clean, burr-free cut that does not require secondary finishing and does not leave a heat-affected zone.
Nearly every type of cut is possible, from rapid hole drilling to detailed cuts for automotive applications.
Waterjet cutting systems are also less expensive than laser-cutting systems, making them a solid choice for metal and steel cutting in the fabrication industry.
The addition of abrasive widens the range of cuts that waterjet technology can perform, but abrasive is often one of the most expensive components of a waterjet cutting system.
To offset the costs of using abrasives in water jets to cut harder materials, KMT Waterjet has developed a system that regulates the amount of abrasive used, controls the flow, and eliminates waste.
Better abrasive management makes cutting with water a truly efficient process.

KMT Waterjet Vs. EDM
Wire EDM Strengths
Extremely precise parts are possible (±0.0001“)
Very thick parts (over 12“) can be made
Intentional taper can be put into a part for die clearance & other uses
Waterjet Strengths
Five to ten times faster in parts less than 1" thick (but, at ±0.003"), less precise as well
No Heat Affected Zone (HAZ)
Works well in non-conductive materials (such as glass, stone, plastic) as well as conductive materials
Can pierce material directly without the need for a pre-drilled starter hole
Can produce large parts at reasonable costs

KMT Waterjet Vs. Laser
Key Laser Strengths
•Very fast production in thin, non-reflective materials such as sheet steel.•Accuracy to ±0.001" or better in thin material.
Key Waterjet Strengths
•Can produce parts up to 2" thick in virtually any material while holding tolerances on the order of ±0.003" to ±0.005". •Can machine reflective, conductive and thicker materials. •Cuts without melting, providing a smooth uniform surface with very little burr or dross. •No heat-affected zone (HAZ), no noxious gas or vapors produced during cutting. •No minimum material cutting width

KMT Waterjet Vs. Plasma
Key HD Plasma Strengths
•Relatively low capital costs.
•Very rapid production rates in thin sheet metal.
Key Waterjet Strengths
•No melting or heat-affected zone, so no heat distortion or crusted area to impair secondary machining processes such as tapping holes.
•Wider range of material capabilities.
•Wider range of thickness capabilities.
•Precision for intricate parts

KMT Waterjet Vs. Router
CNC Router Strengths
• Inexpensive • Capable of holding tolerances
of +- .001• Eliminates taper• Easy control of cutting depth
Waterjet Strengths
• Capable of true 90° angles/corners
• One head for all applications, no need to change bits.
• Small cutting kerf
• Can produce parts 2” or more in thickness.
