Swift-Jet
Thanks to Swift-Cut, it’s never been more affordable or achievable to own a water-jet cutting system. Waterjet technology produces excellent fine-feature cut quality with low edge taper, no heat-affected zone, a narrow kerf, and dross-free cutting.
It also offers the ability to process nearly any material and a thickness range capability unmatched by other cutting technologies.
The Swift-Jet machine with its easy to use software, powered by Hypertherm HyPrecision pumps provides high quality cutting on a wide range of materials at a low-cost investment. Easy to use with exceptional aftercare and support, the Swift-Jet is the answerto affordable, high precision in-house cutting.

Swift-Jet in action

Lawhon Welding in South Carolina provide a full fabrication facility including bending, shearing and designing – prior to discovering Swift-Cut, they were cutting metal by hand, a time consuming and costly exercise that didn’t have a huge profit margin. Not only was it labour intensive, but cutting by hand then required a lot of secondary operations to clean things up – further stretching the operational output and putting more pressure on the costs they had to hand down to the customer.
Customer’s requiring more precise work with thicker metals were a problem, right up until Swift-Cut introduced him to the Swift-Jet 510 Waterjet System. This has been game changing for Lawhon Welding, who are proud to say that the combination of both the Swift-Jet and Pro machines capabilities has revolutionized the way they work. Glenn said, “We cannot believe the accuracy and edge quality that we’re able to give our customers. Having both technologies allows us to provide our customers with the best solution for their requirements.”
