KMT Waterjet Cutting Process
Waterjet Cutting is:
An aggressive erosion
process using energy focused
in a stream of highly
pressurized water.
Abrasive can be mixed with
water at the last moment to
cut through hard metals,
stone, glass or pure water
only to cut food.
(Think of the Grand Canyon Created in One Day!)
Garnet:Most widely used, cost effective and best balanced performance. Fine particles of sand.
Aluminum Oxide:Very aggressive, increases wear of focusing tube and abrasive mixing chamber. Specialty applications.
Silicon Carbide:Very aggressive, increases wear of focusing tube and abrasive mixing chamber. Specialty applications.

KMT Waterjet for Cutting Stone
Waterjet cutting is one of the most versatile cutting processes around.
Well suited for high-performance stone cutting, waterjet technology,when used with an abrasive additive, creates a clean, burr-free cut
that does not require secondary finishing and does not leave a heat-
affected zone.
Nearly every type of cut is possible, from rapid hole drilling to detailed
cuts for sinks, countertops, inlaid tile floors and more.
Waterjet cutting systems are also less expensive than saw cutting
systems, making them a solid choice for all types of stone industries.
The addition of abrasive widens the range of cuts that waterjet
technology can perform, but abrasive is often one of the most
expensive components of a waterjet cutting system.
To offset the costs of using abrasives in water jets to cut harder
materials, KMT has developed a system that regulates the amount of
abrasive used, controls the flow, & eliminates waste.
Betterabrasive managementmakes cutting with water a truly efficient
process.

KMT Waterjet Vs. EDM
Wire EDM Strengths
Extremely precise parts arepossible (0.0001)
Very thick parts (over 12)can be made
Intentional taper can be putinto a part for die clearance& other uses
Waterjet Strengths
Five to ten times faster inparts less than 1" thick (but,at 0.003"), less precise aswell
No Heat Affected Zone(HAZ)
Works well in non-conductive materials (suchas glass, stone, plastic) aswell as conductivematerials
Can pierce materialdirectly without the need fora pre-drilled starter hole
Can produce large partsat reasonable costs

KMT Waterjet Vs. Laser
Key Laser Strengths
Very fast production in thin, non-
reflective materials such as sheet
steel.Accuracy to 0.001" or better in
thin material.
Key Waterjet Strengths
Can produce parts up to 2"
thick in virtually any material
while holding tolerances on
the order of 0.003" to
0.005".Can machine reflective,
conductive and thickermaterials.Cuts without melting,
providing a smooth uniform
surface with very little burr or
dross.No heat-affected zone (HAZ),
no noxious gas or vaporsproduced during cutting.No minimum material cutting
width
