WATERJET CUTTING METAL SERVICES

Dutton uses WaterJet cutting to cut materials with a high degree of consistency and precision. A computer is programmed with the exact coordinates of the shape to be cut. It then directs the output of a High pressure 5 Axsis WaterJet cutter at the material to be cut, leaving an edge with a high-quality surface finish.

An important advantage of WaterJet cutting over Laser Cutting is the lack of physical heating in the material meaning no properties of the material are changed during cutting.

There is also a reduced chance of warping the material being cut, as laser systems have a small heat-affected zone. This means that almost any material can be WaterJet cut.

Dutton’s WaterJet cutting service works night and day, five days a week, which means that your items can often be turned around immediately. If your enquiry is received by mid-afternoon, and we have the material in stock, or if you free-issue the material, then your jobs can be cut overnight.

The WaterJet can cut almost any material up to 250mm thick and up to 4m x 2m sheet size.
