POWER Machinery says that WaterJet Sweden’s water jet cutters are suitable for difficult fabrication jobs including applications using Bisalloy plates such as earthmoving and mining vehicles.

Managing director of Power Machinery, Mr. Ken Christensen says that it is important on certain materials that they are not over heated as this will affect the properties of the steel. Cutting by laser, plasma or oxy can compromise the integrity of the material.

Christensen claims that because water jet cutting is a cold cutting process it will not disturb the properties of the steel and therefore they can retain their hardness and toughness as they were intended.

One of the major benefits of water jet cutting, which is only now being properly recognised, is that it can cut in multiple dimensions; therefore it can cut a tapered hole or a chamfered edge.
