At HaiRan Machinery, we enhance the profitability of your business with high quality water jet cutter parts, and we show you the best water jet cutting machines. Water jet cutting provides optimum cutting efficiency for many industries including stone, glass, metal, food, construction and architecture, defense and aerospace.  How to find the best waterjet cutting machine for your machine shop? 1、Choose according to the type of material to be cut To cut harder materials, water jet cutters need to add gritty material to the water stream. Therefore, if you regularly cut harder materials, such as mild steel, aluminum plate or certain types of stone, you will want to choose a model of waterjet cutter with an ample grit box that is easy to load, unload and maintain. If you are primarily cutting softer materials, such as wood or thinner plastics, then you may only need plain water. In this case, the capacity and efficiency of the grit sinker is less important. In addition, you can use a lower pressure machine compared to cutting steel. 2,、how complex the waterjet cutting machine needs to make cuts? If your machine shop specializes in highly complex cutting operations for forming custom parts, then you may need a waterjet cutting machine with a "fifth axis". This additional axis of control will help you make more complex cuts at specific angles when needed. Fifth-axis machines also excel at taper compensation and weld preparation. For less complex cuts, just find a waterjet cutter that only makes basic cuts and leave the complex cuts to the experts. Otherwise, you could end up spending a lot of extra money on a machine that will only do a little extra work every once in a while.
