The Perfect Water Jet Cut Bottle Opener for National Beer Lover's Day

Happy National Beer Lover's Day!

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!

It's Time to Buy a Water Jet System

Summer is flying by, IMTS and FABTECH are right around the corner, and it's time to buy that water jet system to take advantage of this year's U.S. tax incentives for capital equipment.

If you're still torn between water jet and plasma or water jet and laser, let Jet Edge make a case for choosing a waterjet system.

Water jet is by far the most versatile piece of fabrication equipment you could ever buy for your shop. It cuts nearly any material, including reflective and non-conductive materials.  It cuts incredibly thick metals.  It has a very small kerf, allowing you to tightly nest parts to maximize material use.

A cold-cutting process, water jet cuts without HAZ or slag so you don't have to waste hours grinding away parts so you can weld them.

Water jet doesn't kick up a cloud of dust, making it great for cutting fiberglass, fiber cement and composite materials.

And if you don't like breathing in dust, then you certainly can't like breathing in noxious fumes and chromium smoke.  Waterjets cut without fumes and smoke, allowing you to breathe easy.

There are many, many more reasons to choose waterjet.  See our website to get the complete lowdown.

Of course, if you still can't decide, why not buy one of each?  Waterjet, lasers and plasma systems complement each other quite nicely in a fully equipped metal fabrication shop.
