Press Release Summary: Manufacturing companies that understand the benefits of using
Water Jet Cutting Technologies can cut production costs.

Press Release Body: Water Jet cutting services make use of a super high pressure
stream of water that carries an abrasive grit. This abrasive mixes with the water
through a venturi effect in what is commonly called the "focusing tube" just prior
to cutting. This mixture of water and abrasive grit exit the focusing tube at
speeds of approximately mach 2.5. Cutting pressures range between 45,000 to 60,000
psi for standard cutting models. For brittle, fragile, or delicate materials,
piercing pressures range between 15,000 to 20,000 psi, and resume the higher cutting
pressures when the pierce has been completed. This low pressure pierce is not true
of all machines, and cutting models.
Manufacturing companies are always looking for a cost effective edge. Wasted
material, time spent in secondary operations, machine wear, and man hours relate to
rising manufacturing costs. Water Jet cutting services offer a flexible and
versatile alternative to other types of two dimensional cutting for most materials.

A water jet cutting service can be your defense in the cost battle. Metal cutting
services help reduce material cost by reducing material waste. Parts are tightly
nested using nesting software to maximize material usage. Machine wear, and no
necessity for secondary processes, save you significant amounts of money per year.
Custom blanks and prototypes are cut to customer specifications, using metals such
as stainless steel, aluminum, brass, bronze or copper in a variety of shapes or
dimensions.

This technology allows clients to think unconventionally in terms of material usage.
Made-to-order blanks can be produced whether you need low precision parts (+-.003
in.) with a smooth cut edge, or parts that are merely blanked to close tolerances,
and then given a final pass on the mill to bring them into exact tolerance. The
capability to cut complex shapes with a high level of speed and accuracy is
accomplished.

Your company benefits in other ways also. High pressure water cutting is considered
a green technology. A cold cutting method, which produces no heat damaged areas, no
mechanical stress. No vapors or hazardous materials are produced. You can advertise
your manufacturing methods as environmentally safe.

Reflective materials, such as stainless steel, polished brass, conductive materials,
heat resisting, and heat sensitive materials can be cut with little or no
discoloration, and no heat affected zones. With the ability to perform stack
cutting on thinner materials, an achievement other cutting technologies lack, the
cost effectiveness simply soars.

For these and many more reasons, the Water Jet process is the most versatile and
fastest growing cutting technology in the world.

Cutting service companies like Wet Jet Precision perform services for a wide range
of products from blanking parts for the military's 50 caliber machine gun, to burner
and emission control components for the automotive industry. If you are looking to
cut your costs, then outsourcing your metal cutting services very well could achieve
that result.

This is why we offer this service as the number one cutting solution for our
clients. You get a clean edge with high quality. The parts are simple to fixture,
increasing turnaround times. If your business is building jet engine parts, metal
components, custom gauges, special equipment or electrical assemblies, our services
are just what you need. Higher productivity, equals Increased profit!
