Jet Edge Waterjets Logo for NatGeo's DIGGERS

Normally we pride ourselves on building waterjet cutting machines that cut precise parts with nice smooth edges, but when Half Yard Productions asked us to cut a jagged rusty logo for their National Geographic Channel pilot show, DIGGERS, we were all in!

DIGGERS is a show about the zany treasure hunting adventures of Tim Saylor and George Wyant, extreme metal detecting experts and founders of AnacondaTreasure.com. During the opening of each episode, "King George" and "Ringmaster Tim" dig up the beat-up DIGGERS logo that you would never guess was cut with a waterjet.

We cut the ¼” steel DIGGERS logo with a Jet Edge 90KSI X-Stream-powered High Rail Gantry waterjet cutting system. To distress it, we ran a fan-tipped waterjet head over the finished part to rough up the surface, then raised the water level in the tank and let the part soak overnight under water on top of metal slats. We then sprinkled it with sidewalk salt and let it sit for the day on the slats. Within two days, we had a part that looked like it had been in the ground for years waiting for DIGGERS to find it. It was exactly what they were looking for!

DIGGERS piloted two episodes on NATGEOTV on Feb. 28. Both pilot episodes are scheduled to run again on March 3 at 10 p.m. EST and 10:30 p.m. EST. Check local listings for times in your area.

Jet Edge on Modern Marvels Monday Jan. 30

by Jet Edge

The HISTORY Channel’s Modern Marvels is featuring Jet Edge waterjets and Michael Waltrip Racing in its upcoming episode, “Under Pressure.” The show is set to air at 10 p.m. EST (9 p.m. CST), Monday, Jan. 30 on H2. The episode also will be posted on http://www.history.com/.

Few things could be under more pressure than a 90,000 psi industrial waterjet cutting machine and a NASCAR® team racing to get ready for the next green flag. That is why Modern Marvel’s production crew travelled to MWR’s shop in Cornelius, N.C., to shoot “Under Pressure,” an episode exploring all things done under pressure.

During the episode, Modern Marvels explores the science behind creating an extreme ultra-high pressure waterjet that can cut precise parts from virtually any material, and explains how MWR uses its Jet Edge X-Stream waterjet cutting machine to cut more than 1,000 parts for each of its racecars. The episode features interviews with Michael Wheeler, Jet Edge’s R&D engineer; Nick Hughes, MWR’s technical director; and Jeremy Vanderleest, MWR’s waterjet operator.

MWR builds about 56 cars per year, including the #55 Aaron’s Dream Machine Toyota Camry driven by Michael Waltrip and Mark Martin, the #56 NAPA AUTO PARTS Toyota Camry driven by Martin Truex Jr., and the #15 5-hour ENERGY Toyota Camry driven by Clint Bowyer.
