Waterjet Cutting
GMA Garnet is extensively used in all renowned waterjet cutting machines around the world. Using the world’s best processing methods not only provides the highest purity garnet and highly accurate sizing of grains but ensures that there is no dust or ineffective fine grains to restrict garnet free flow with no oversize grains to block focusing tubes.

A steady flow of garnet to the focusing tube that is free from blockages allows uninterrupted production without downtime resulting in optimum efficiency and lowest production costs.

In addition, millions of years of weathering the hard and tough sub angular grains provide the perfect balance between cutting speed and edge quality with reduced wear and tear to equipment and in particular, the cutting head and focusing tube.

The reduced wear and tear on components using GMA Garnet alluvial grains result to direct cost-savings and longer service life. High quality alluvial garnet does not contain any fracture lines that weaken the grain inherent with crushed garnet.

Applications
GMA Garnet Waterjet cutting abrasives’ grades are available to meet all of your specific project requirements. It is ideally suited for all applications including:

GMA Garnet Optimum Setup
GMA Garnet offers a choice of grades to match any focusing tube and orifice for any given cutting application. 
 
GMA Garnet 80 Mesh: The most popular waterjet abrasive grade used worldwide delivers the optimum balance of cutting speed and precision edge. 
 
GMA Garnet 50 or 60 Mesh: Suitable for high speed cutting, it can in some cases deliver up to a 30% increase in cutting speed but at the expense of a reduced precision edge. 
 
GMA Garnet 120 Mesh: For high precision and minimum tolerance edge cutting requirements.
 
The table states the correct combinations of GMA Garnet grades, focusing tube and orifice dimensions to suit your particular waterjet cutting requirements.
