Behinds the Scenes: Waterjet

This series was filmed and edited by Keaton Bowlby

Welcome back to a Special Edition of Cutting Corners! In this episode, Jim and Jake give you a behind-the-scenes look at our OMAX Waterjet and talk about why it’s a key part of the shop, especially when we’re dealing with tough or sensitive materials like carbon fiber, G10, phenolic, and more.

Using ultra-high-pressure water mixed with garnet, our waterjet cuts through parts cleanly and safely. Even though it is a huge maintenance headache, it helps us cut materials those materials that are too tough or would be toxic to cut on a laser.
