Hydraulic Versacutter

Jet Edge Inc.
St. Michael, Minn.
Jet Edge Inc. has introduced the Hydraulic Versacutter portable waterjet cutting and beveling system.

The Versacutter is ideal for cutting pipelines, steel reinforced concrete, reactor vessels and fabricated metal structures. It cuts without flames and does not generate heat.
