For more than 40 years, KMT Waterjet System’s, Baxter Springs, KS, has been on the cutting edge in advancements in waterjet technology. Although there are many metal fabricators that rely on KMT for their waterjet cutting needs, there has been steady growth in the stone and tile industry as users of waterjet technology.

Northwood Machine Manufacturing, Louisville, KY, incorporates KMT Waterjet pumps into their NW-127 SawJET?, which is a patent-pending all-in-one abrasive waterjet and 360-degree programmable saw designed specifically to meet the needs of the stone countertop industry. This technological breakthrough in the world of abrasive waterjet machines provides stone and marble fabricators with a faster, more cost-effective solution for processing slab materials. The Northwood Machine SawJET? product line is part of a vertically integrated solution that takes advantage of the technologies created for Northwood’s CNC stone machining centers and their industry-leading StoneVision®, StoneLaser?, and StoneScan? software packages.

The NW-127 features a single table configuration and the KMT Waterjet Streamline SL-V 50 Hp abrasive waterjet pump with a standard 10 HP saw (a 15 HP saw unit is a standard option). The saw unit is capable of running 10” to 14” saw blades. As with all Northwood Machine Manufacturing Company machines, the SawJET? features the industry-leading GE Fanuc control system, cast-iron drive systems, zero-backlash, ground ballscrews with rotating nut technology, and zero-hassle support.

Cutting long straight line slabs with the Northwood SawJET? saves significant time. And using the waterjet to cut intricate designs, detailed logos, and difficult shapes in any size using nested pattern’s, ultimately creates a much higher yield on raw materials.

No one knows this better than the experts at Hoffman Fixtures Company, in Tulsa, OK. HFC has been a true “one stop shop” for all kitchen and bath remodeling needs since 1949. The experts at Hoffman work with a wide range of stone and cultured marble and use the Northwood SawJET? with the KMT pump every day.

If you are looking for a new kitchen countertop, bathroom shower or a complete kitchen or bathroom remodel, no one does it better than HFC.

Northwood Machine Manufacturing and KMT Waterjet Systems will both be exhibiting at the upcoming StonExpo Tradeshow in Las Vegas, January 29-31, 2013.
