Jet Edge 5-Axis Water Jet System Helps DRC Copper Mine Double Productivity
A remote copper mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo insisted on a Jet Edge EDGE X-5 5-axis waterjet system when it came time for them to buy their second water jet. They had powered their first waterjet with a Jet Edge X-Stream intensifier pump and were confident in the reliability of Jet Edge equipment. They knew they could depend on Jet Edge to get them waterjet parts quickly and on-time despite their incredibly remote location which is at least a three week’s drive from Johannesburg, South Africa.

Centura Oil Helps Uranium Mine Maximize Ore Recovery with Jet Edge-Powered Ultra-High Pressure Water Jet
When a uranium mine needed to extract hundreds of pipes and casings that were blocking millions of dollars’ worth of uranium ore, they called Jet Edge customer Centura Oil Inc. of Minnesota.
Centura spent two and a half years deep underground cutting hundreds of pipes and casings of various diameters, many as small as 2” ID, and cutting off casings just below the surface casing to allow for the overcoring bit to be reduced so the entire string of pipe could be retrieved. To add to the challenge, the pipes had been installed at a 70° angle and Centura had to make the cuts sight unseen at distances as far as 300 feet. Read More

I challenge you to go on Twitter right now and do a search for #NationalPotatoMonth and NOT get distracted by all of the tempting photos of delectable potato dishes.
I went on for just a second to Tweet our spuddy greeting and caught myself drooling over some incredible looking twice baked potatoes from Big Daddy's Brew & Que in Glendale, Wisconsin. They looked so good, I almost made a run for the border! Then I discovered that they are all the way across the state, but right up the road from our good customer JACQUET Midwest in Racine. Sooo...I might just pay them a visit in the very near future.
You just can't beat a good potato dish and fine barbecue.
Here in Minnesota, we love our potatoes. You can't call yourself a Minnesotan if you don't include potatoes in at least one meal a day, and don't you dare say you've never had tater tot hot dish.
Growing up in a very large family, we ate potatoes daily and never got tired of them because they are so versatile. My job was to peel the potatoes for my mother. I started out with a safety peeler, but was so proud when I graduated to a paring knife. I would have given anything to have had access to an ultra high pressure water jet cutting machine to peel and chop all the potatoes my mother set in front of me.
UHP waterjets work great for peeling and cutting potatoes because they never need sharpening or cleaning. The mighty potato and our Jet Edge waterjets have one thing in common: versatility.You might even say that waterjets are the potatoes of the machine tool industry (okay, that's probably not going to be our new slogan.) A waterjet can cut virtually anything, and potatoes can be transformed into virtually anything... from delicious meals to top shelf vodka and akvavit, to adhesives, ethanol fuel and so much more.
Of course, here at Jet Edge, we can't get enough French fries...
A true lover of beer would never be caught without a bottle opener on a day like today. That would be worse than going fishing without bait.
Do you have a favorite bottle opener? Mine is my trusty Jet Edge waterjet cut sample part that we cut for prospective customers at the big machine tool trade shows like FABTECH and IMTS.
I haven't found a bottle opener that works better than my Jet Edge opener.
Our waterjet test lab is working on this year's FABTECH bottle opener. What will it be? You'll have to stop by our booth to find out. Bring beer!
