Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can a small CNC waterjet cut accurately?

A small CNC waterjet cuts metals, stone, glass, ceramics, composites, rubber, and plastics. It handles stainless steel up to 50 mm, aluminum up to 80 mm, and glass up to 40 mm with +/-0.05 mm accuracy. Cold cutting avoids heat-affected zones, so titanium, carbon fiber, and tempered glass keep their original properties. Abrasive waterjet is best for hard materials, while pure waterjet suits soft materials like foam and food. Our team helps match abrasive mesh and pressure to your material list.
Our compact models need about 3.5 m x 2.5 m, including the pump, tank, and control cabinet. The 1,500 x 2,000 mm cutting table fits most workshops, and the machine weighs around 2,100 kg. You only need a level concrete floor, 380 V or 480 V power, and a water supply of 3.8 L/min. Many customers install it beside existing CNC mills, saving 25% space compared with large gantry waterjets.
Typical operating cost is USD 18-25 per hour, covering electricity, abrasive, nozzle wear, and maintenance. The 30 HP pump uses about 12 kW average, and garnet consumption is roughly 340 g/min during abrasive cutting. Nozzles last 80-120 hours. Customers who cut 20 mm steel report a cost of USD 0.85 per 100 mm of cut, often lower than laser or plasma when secondary finishing is included.
Installation usually takes three days with our remote guidance or an engineer visit. Training covers CAD nesting, pump maintenance, abrasive calibration, and safety, and lasts two days. We provide English manuals and videos plus 20-minute remote response during business hours. Most operators with CNC experience produce saleable parts on day one and reach full efficiency within two weeks.

Cold Cutting Protects Material Integrity and Eliminates Secondary Finishing

Cold Cutting Protects Material Integrity and Eliminates Secondary Finishing

The defining technological advantage of the WEITAI small CNC waterjet lies in its advanced cold-cutting mechanism, which utilizes an ultra-high-pressure water stream blended with fine garnet abrasive to erode materials purely through mechanical kinetic energy rather than thermal combustion. By completely eliminating thermal generation during the cutting process, the machine leaves zero heat-affected zones, eliminates metallurgical oxidation, and prevents recast layers, micro-cracking, or material warping across delicate substrates. This distinct capability makes it an indispensable asset for processing advanced industrial materials that are highly vulnerable to heat damage, such as aerospace titanium alloys, carbon fiber laminates, tempered architectural glass, and multi-layer composites. For example, an American marine manufacturer struggling with edge delamination and fiber fraying when cutting 12 mm carbon fiber panels reduced their production rework rates.
