TAKE A LOOK…
As one of the fastest growing machine tool industries, waterjet cutting has proven to save time and
money on countless applications. Please take a look at the advantages of KCM WATERJET in
providing a solution to you.

We owe our success to our dedicated engineers, operators and office staff. With many years of
experience, we price, plan and deliver your part, right – the first time. Our team assures you the
highest quality in machining work.

Advanced software allows us to take a hand drawn sketch or a photo,
vectorize it, scale it to any size, and cut it in any material.

Materials ranging from 10” stainless steel to 0.010” acrylics may be cut by waterjet, making it a very versatile tool. Stacking of very thin materials to increase productivity is also possible. Kerf ranges from 0.020” to 0.050”.

Tolerances tighter than +/- 0.005” are achievable, especially in thinner materials, such as 1” stainless steel. However high tolerances come with a price, sometimes up to 500% higher than if the same part had been specified with a tolerance of +/- 0.015”. By being more flexible with tolerances, prices will drop. KCM WATERJET has the ability to
vary tolerances in different locations on a part, ensuring the best
pricing and quality.

Taper and edge finish are directly related to cut speed. The greater the speed, the more taper and the coarser the edge finishes. As we slow down, taper can be eliminated and a finish of about “120” achieved. Slower means an increase in time and price.

KCM WATERJET cutting is a natural erosion process involving no chemicals or heat. Warping and distortion typically associated with laser, plasma, and oxy–fuel cutting are eliminated minimizing the need for secondary processing.
common line cutting image title
Unlike laser, plasma, and oxy–fuel cutting, KCM WATERJET lends itself to common line cutting. State of the art “nesting” software, allowing us to nest multiple shapes together and cut them with multiple heads.
We are able to keep track of remnants and nest into these odd shapes later, saving you precious material. With variable speed look ahead feature, our intelligent software allows KCM WATERJET to produce
some of the best-cut parts possible.
