| THICKNESS RANGE | TOLERANCE BY THICKNESS | MINIMUM HOLE SIZE | MAX PLATE CAPACITY |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11 gauge up to 6” thick |
Up to .5” thick (+/- .010”) .75” to 1” thick (+/-.015”) 1.25” to 3” thick (+/-.020”) 3.25” to 6” thick (+/-.030”) |
< 1/2” = .0625” dia. 1/2” to 1” = .0625” dia. >1” to 2” = .125” dia. >2” to 3” = .125” dia. >3” = .1875” dia. |

ADVANTAGES INCLUDE:
- Versatility: Waterjet cutting can cut a wide range of materials with varying thicknesses.
- Precision: It provides high precision and accuracy in cutting intricate shapes and fine details.
- No Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ): Waterjet cutting is a cold-cutting process, meaning it does not generate heat that could alter the material properties.
- Tighter nesting for optimal material utilization
- No Mechanical Stresses: The cutting process does not subject the material to mechanical stresses, reducing the likelihood of distortion.
- Environmentally Friendly: It is an environmentally friendly process as it does not produce hazardous fumes or waste.
- Produces a near-net finished part.
- Reduces or eliminates secondary machining operations.
