Many of the waterjet machining products covered in this month’s Modern Equipment Review spotlight feature advances that make them more economical solutions. A dual-tank waterjet from Techni, for instance, enables continuous operation because the operator can unload and load one tank while the other is cutting, just like a pallet changer in a machining center. Other cost-saving features are even more fundamental, such as a hydraulic intensifier pump available from Jet Edge that regulates its power draw for use in labs, schools and small shops.
