Water Jet Cutting Kent WA utilizes highly pressurized water to cut through many types of materials. Using just water, cuts can be made to softer materials, such as wood, foam, paper, carpet, and rubber, among others. When abrasive particles are added to the water, cutting is possible for much harder surfaces, such as stone, glass, composites, and metals. Water jet cutting is a versatile process that works well with computer sided design (CAD) software programs for making delicate cuts, such as intricate patterns or specialty signage. Store signs, for example, can be created using any font, decorative scrolls, or small emblems. This system of cutting will not effect the temper or properties of the materials, so there are no wasted pieces, no damaged edges, and no discoloration or damage to the finished product.
The process is also easier and safer than other forms of material cutting. Water Jet Cutting Kent WA uses no chemicals, lasers, or excessive heat when cutting materials. That means there is no need for special ventilation; no extra space required between the machine and walls or other tools and machinery; and no additional safety precautions to implement. Cleaning is easier because all it is left is the part of the material that was cut away. There are no shards, embers, ash, or residue to clean up. Small machine shops, tool and die makers, and metal stamping companies can save time and money by outsourcing small production orders to be completed with a water jet cutter. Many metal distributors, such as Specialty Metals, for example, are also metal processors and fabricators. They have the capability to provide water jet, laser, and plasma cutting for small orders, custom pieces, and piping.
In addition to stocking various forms of carbon and stainless steel and aluminum, alloys and hard to find metals are also in stock. That includes brass, titanium, nickel, plastics, valves and fittings, and copper roofing. What is not in stock can be found with quick turnaround times. Same day pickup is available for most orders, and there are also odd pieces of metal available for projects, repairs, or when one piece of metal is needed. Processing, cutting, and design assistance is available for individuals who need projects completed, businesses that want custom signs or fencing made, or manufacturers that need a specific cutting process completed for a contract.
