Why are so many people suddenly buying abrasive waterjet machine tools?
Because: • They are quick to program (make money on short runs.) • They are quick to set up, and offer quick turn-around on the machine. • They complement existing tools, used for either primary or secondary operations. • They make parts quickly out of virtually any material. • They do not heat your material. • All sorts of intricate shapes are easy to make. • They are money making machines. Most of the information contained here specifically applies to 2D machining, but is general enough to be useful for those researching waterjets in general.
