Nifty-Bar, Inc. provides abrasive waterjet machining services for production of precision blanks, near net shape parts, and completely finished components in prototype through production quantities.

Waterjet Technology

Abrasive waterjet machining uses a very high pressure stream of water and garnet particles to cut through materials without heat. This technology offers many benefits in comparison to alternative technologies such as flame cutting, plasma cutting, laser cutting, or conventional machining. For producing component parts, these benefits include:

  • Capability to make a single part or
    thousands of parts as needed
  • Reduced material costs through
    narrow kerfs and part nesting
  • No thermal distortion or hardening
  • Minimum part stress
  • Elimination of tooling and fixtures
  • Smooth finished edges
  • Ability to cut hardened materials
  • Ability to cut highly reflective
    materials
  • Reduction or elimination of
    secondary operations
  • Environmentally friendly process
  • Capability to self pierce start holes

Our abrasive waterjet machining equipment provides a 72" x 144" cutting envelope. Tolerances of up to ± 0.005" can be achieved with minimal taper.
