The problem was that a component which was originally cut to size by plasma had an issue when it came time for assembly. The component sits flush on top of a weld, so the edge that fits in the corner needed to be beveled. This was needed to allow for clearance from the existing weld. A few options exist that could accomplish the required feat. When tolerances are loose for clearance, creating a quick fixture and even quicker Waterjet cut, keeps assembly moving along. Nearly 50 pieces completed in less than 3 hours…When man power is time and time is money, it is difficult to use any other traditional method to create the bevel. Miller’s waterjet accomplishes the task.
