Benefits of Waterjet Cutting
Waterjet Cuts What Can't Be Machined
The Waterjet cutting process is able to cut materials like laminates, phenalics, composites and most metals that were previously "unmachinable". These cuts are made without fracturing, chipping or thermal stress.
Waterjet Maximizes Material Yield
Waterjet cutting maximizes material yield by cutting along common edges with no waste (kerf). Even irregular parts are computer formatted to maximize your material yield.
Quality Cut Parts
Waterjet of St. Louis can cut parts to tolerances as tight as +/- .005", which is perfect for inlay parts. Moreover, waterjet cuts do not create burning, hardening or thermal stress like laser cutting can.
Budnick's Capabilities
By operating 3 machines over two shifts, Budnick has the capacity and the flexibility to meet your demands. Waterjet cutting reduces tooling costs, increases part output and eliminates most finishing operations. No grinding, filing, sanding or polishing on the toughest materials around.
