Safe and Precise

USA DeBusk hydro cutting uses 40,000 psi water pressure and garnet abrasive to make high-precision cuts in metal or concrete surfaces. Unlike oxy/acetylene torches, hydro cutting is flame-free and safe for use in explosive atmospheres.

Automated control assures accuracy and consistency for both straight and beveled cuts.
