Questions
Cutting & waterjet FAQ
How thick can your waterjet cut?
CMF's Flow 5-axis waterjet cuts thick plate, stainless and aluminum cold at 95,000 psi, with parts up to 78 × 156 in. For a blast tank, it cut 1-1/2 in heads.
Why choose waterjet over laser or plasma?
Waterjet cuts without heat, so edges come off clean and ready for weld with no heat-affected zone. CMF also runs a 5 kW laser to 1 in and plasma to 2 in when those are the better fit.
Can cut parts go straight into forming or welding?
Yes. CMF kits cut parts for its own press brakes, plate rolls and weld stations, so there is no hand-off between vendors.
