Jet Edge Exhibiting Waterjets for Farm Machine Shops at Triumph of Ag Expo

ST. MICHAEL, Minn. - Jan. 21, 2014 - PRLog -- Jet Edge, Inc., a leading manufacturer of ultra-high pressure waterjet cutting technology will introduce its new FARM-JET® and TACH-JET® waterjet systems at the Triumph of Agriculture Exposition, March 12-13 at Omaha’s CenturyLink Center.  Look for Jet Edge in booth 2129.5/2129.6.

Designed and priced for farm machine shops, Jet Edge’s 55,000 psi FARM-JET® and TACH-JET® waterjets bring the power and versatility of ultra-high pressure waterjet cutting technology to farm machine shops for the price of a new fully loaded 1 ton 4X4 pickup truck, without requiring special electrical service.  These powerful machines cut parts from virtually any material without heat or flames, leaving a clean edge free of slag, without producing noxious fumes.

“Until now, if you wanted a waterjet, it meant a six-figure investment and access to 460 volt power,” noted Jude Lague, Jet Edge president. “Now you can own a waterjet for the price of a new truck and you can run it off standard household electric. With a waterjet system, you can create a nice source of additional revenue, and if you need a part fast, you can cut it in minutes instead of waiting for days or weeks to have it fabricated and shipped.”
