The Feature Waterjet Bay is a compact abrasive waterjet cutting cell built for small sample runs. Using garnet abrasive, it delivers cold cuts in plate, stone, composites and glass. There is no heat-affected zone, so you keep the material properties intact, which is key for test samples, proof cuts and brittle materials.
The pressure system matches typical benchtop equipment class requirements, suitable for fabrication shops and technical schools. A service catcher underneath the cutting area handles runoff and abrasive, making disposal and cleaning easy. The system is ideal for making quick sample pieces rather than high-volume production, and it's stocked from our Gauteng base for straightforward delivery and support.
Routine care comes down to replacing the waterjet nozzle and using fresh garnet. Nozzles wear out faster if garnet is dirty or reused, so sticking to a clean supply helps stretch your consumables further. Dont forget to check the catcher for blockages or heavy build-up, especially after a busy week.
The Feature Waterjet Bay can be set up in most small workshops as it is benchtop sized. You need a solid, vibration-free table or bench with space for access all around the cell, including enough room for loading plates, cleaning, and topping up the garnet hopper.
For power, either a 230 V single-phase or 400 V three-phase supply is needed, depending on your configuration. All new wiring must be done by a registered electrician, who will issue a Certificate of Compliance as required by the Electrical Installation Regulations.
There is no need for a compressed air feed or fume extraction. Just make sure the work area can handle some water spray and abrasive splash. At the coast, keep the cell and guide rails wiped down and oiled to prevent rust.
Main consumables are garnet abrasive (80 mesh is typical) and waterjet nozzles. You can order replacement nozzles and filter packs through our contact form, and we recommend keeping a spare on hand.
The catcher tray can be removed for quick cleanup. If your workflow needs extra sample holding, consider a soft jaw set or custom fixture kit. No additional extraction or air supply is needed, but a water filter change is part of regular care.
For export or moving between sites, we offer a crate brace kit to help secure the equipment during transport. All export woodwork is ISPM 15 stamped to meet international standards.
