Water Jet

Waterjet cutting technology is one of the fastest growing major machine tool processes in the world due to its versatility and ease of operation. Manufacturers are realizing that there are virtually no limits to what waterjets are capable of cutting and machining.
Dawsons Waterjet Division operates two state of the art Waterjet machines harnessing the cutting power of 4500 bar water pressure using Computer Aided Design (CAD) technology.

Dawsons can cut almost any material into virtually any shape and size.

Glass, steels, stainless steels and duplex alloys, rubber, ceramics, tile, wood, brass and copper, and cuts to tolerances of 0.02mm thanks to positioning sensors and onboard computers on the waterjet machine.


Why Waterjet?

  • Advanced technology - waterjet has shown that it can do things that other technologies simply cannot.
  • Less risk than laser technology
  • Waterjets compliment other technologies such as milling, laser, EDM, plasma and routers.
  • No noxious gases or liquids are used in waterjet cutting, and waterjets do not create hazardous materials or vapours.
  • No heat effected zones or mechanical stresses are left on a waterjet cut surface. It is truly a versatile, productive, cold cutting process.
  • Reduction in Material and Production Costs. Flow waterjets require minimal fixturing and tooling so you can save valuable time. Waterjets cut accurate, clean edges that allow for tight nesting and reduced scrap.
