Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is steel mixed with various amounts of chromium, which adds rust and stain resistance to the steel.Stainless steel machines easily with the OMAX® without heat or distortion. All grades of stainless steel machine easily on the OMAX, even those such as 304 that are difficult to machine with other processes.
This 0.4" (1 cm) thick stainless steel part demonstrates the precise corner capabilities of the OMAX, and the precise fit possible
"Another advantage [to abrasive waterjets] is that there's no Heat Affected Zone (HAZ). In the food industry, there can't be any HAZ areas in stainless steel, so we end up doing a lot of stainless work for them."
