OverviewThe KMT Cut Calculator App 2.0 compares waterjet cutting at 90,000psi versus 60,000psi to quantify differences in cutting time, speed/capacity, abrasive consumption and cost per part. The app includes 25 rated materials and configurable inputs for substrate thickness, horsepower, orifice size and abrasive feed rate. The application is available free on iOS and Android and includes a webinar training video.
Features- Direct comparison of cutting times and performance at 90,000psi vs 60,000psi
