A water jet uses a high pressure stream of water combined with a granular additive. As the pressurized mixture passes through a small diameter nozzle, it forms a coherent jet of abrasive/water moving at very high speeds which will erode a narrow line in a stock material.
United Performance Metals can deliver material that is custom cut to your exact specifications. Laser and water jet cutting capabilities allow us to cut material in a variety of thicknesses and tolerances. Best of all our cutting processes allow us to save you time and money. Let us be your single source for material and cutting requirements.
