When should you use waterjet cutting instead of thermal cutting? Waterjet cutting is often selected when teams want to minimize heat effects and protect material properties before machining or fabrication. If your goal is reducing rework and keeping downstream operations efficient, discuss the right precision cutting approach for your material and part requirements. A. M. Castle & Co. supports OEMs with precision value-add processing to help material arrive ready for downstream steps.
