FAQs – CNC Waterjet for Metal Cutting
1. Can CNC waterjet machines cut all types of metal?
Yes, Midecnc waterjet machines can cut a wide range of metals, including stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, carbon steel, and even titanium.
2. What is the maximum metal thickness that can be cut with a waterjet?
Our CNC waterjet machines can cut metal sheets up to 100 mm thick, depending on the material and desired edge quality.
3. Does waterjet cutting produce heat-affected zones (HAZ)?
No. Waterjet cutting is a cold-cutting process, meaning there is no heat-affected zone. This preserves the material’s mechanical properties and structural integrity.
4. How accurate is a CNC waterjet for metal cutting?
Midecnc waterjets deliver high precision with tolerances up to ±0.1 mm, suitable for fine detail work and complex metal designs.
5. Is waterjet cutting better than laser cutting for metal?
Waterjet cutting offers advantages such as no heat damage, the ability to cut thicker materials, and greater material compatibility—including reflective metals where lasers may struggle.
6. Does waterjet cutting require post-processing?
In most cases, no. The cut edges are smooth and clean, minimizing or eliminating the need for grinding or secondary processing.
7. Can waterjet machines cut layered or composite metals?
Yes. Waterjets can effectively cut layered metals, metal-plastic composites, or materials with coatings, without causing delamination or burning.
8. What industries commonly use waterjet cutting for metal?
Industries include aerospace, automotive, industrial fabrication, metal furniture, electronics enclosures, signage, and decorative metalwork.
