SMP’s Waterjet cutting and machining applies for tight tolerance applications. We process materials such as Stainless Steel, Titanium, High Nickel Alloys, Aluminum, Red Metals and all grades of Carbon Steel. With a 10’ x 20’ cutting envelope, we offer five Waterjet cut finishes including a Separation cut, Through cut, Clean cut, Good Edge finish, and Excellent Edge finish. In addition to clean cuts that do not require secondary finishing, our Waterjet services are cost effective with quick turnaround times. View brochure here.
3 Axis Waterjet Cutting
All materials that SMP processes – stainless steel, titanium, high nickel alloys, aluminum – are excellent candidates for waterjet cutting. Tight tolerances, quality edge condition and minimal burr are some of the advantages you get from waterjet cutting. Also, the fact that our waterjet cuts with high pressured water (60,000 P.S.I.) in combination with the abrasive material garnet, means that there is no thermal distortion or heat affected zones.
Providing a one stop shop for our customers that rely on us for slab, plate, sheet grinding and polishing translates into quicker turnaround times, lower freight costs and the consistent quality you have come to expect from SMP.
