About

Waterjet Cutting at K Cut

Abrasive Water Jet Cutting is a sophisticated modern technique for cutting soft materials like paper through to the hardest substances such as titanium, ceramics, steel and granite. At the K Cut factory our latest generation equipment can even cut through bullet-proof glass!

The process utilises water and abrasives that are pressurised to create a ‘beam’ of fluid that will cut through almost any material. Inside K Cut’s Abrasive Waterjet Cutting system, water is pressurised up to 4000 bar (60,000 psi) and a powder form abrasive is added to the mix, this is then forced through a directional nozzle onto the surface being cut. It is the abrasives within the solution that ensure the cut is swift and smooth with minimal edge burring and no material deformation.
