Powder coating is a durable, simple to apply, easy to clean up, product. It is inexpensive, and more environmentally friendly than paint, as it has no VOCs and no solvents are used. The final product is more durable than paint, and powder is available in many colors and finish types. The parts must be baked at about 400 degrees for 15 minutes, so it will not work on magnetic items, or anything with grease in the part, like bearings.

The Flow waterjet cutter is one of the most powerful tools in TechShop's arsenal. Using a high pressure stream of water mixed with abrasive garnet, the machine cuts precise shapes, lines and curves out of a wide variety of materials. It can cleanly cut through almost any flat material, including all kinds of metal, wood, glass, tile, marble, granite and more. It will cut the thinnest sheet metal as well as materials up to a foot thick. It creates no heat, so materials like stainless steel, glass and stone that are usually damaged by heat are unaffected by waterjet cutting.The only common material it won't cut is tempered glass, although it works well on regular glass.

The Flow waterjet cutter is one of the most powerful tools in TechShop's arsenal. Using a high pressure stream of water mixed with abrasive garnet, the machine cuts precise shapes, lines and curves out of a wide variety of materials. It can cleanly cut through almost any flat material, including all kinds of metal, wood, glass, tile, marble, granite and more. It will cut the thinnest sheet metal as well as materials up to a foot thick. It creates no heat, so materials like stainless steel, glass and stone that are usually damaged by heat are unaffected by waterjet cutting.The only common material it won't cut is tempered glass, although it works well on regular glass.

Using a high pressure stream of water mixed with abrasive garnet, the machine cuts precise shapes, lines and curves out of a wide variety of materials. It can cleanly cut through almost any flat material, including all kinds of metal, wood, glass, tile, marble, granite and more. It will cut the thinnest sheet metal as well as materials up to a foot thick. It creates no heat, so materials like stainless steel, glass and stone that are usually damaged by heat are unaffected by waterjet cutting.The only common material it won't cut is tempered glass, although it works well on regular glass.

Powder coating is a durable, simple to apply, easy to clean up, product. It is inexpensive, and more environmentally friendly than paint, as it has no VOCs and no solvents are used. The final product is more durable than paint, and powder is available in many colors and finish types. The parts must be baked at about 400 degrees for 15 minutes, so it will not work on magnetic items, or anything with grease in the part, like bearings.

The Flow waterjet cutter is one of the most powerful tools in TechShop's arsenal. Using a high pressure stream of water mixed with abrasive garnet, the machine cuts precise shapes, lines and curves out of a wide variety of materials. It can cleanly cut through almost any flat material, including all kinds of metal, wood, glass, tile, marble, granite and more. It will cut the thinnest sheet metal as well as materials up to a foot thick. It creates no heat, so materials like stainless steel, glass and stone that are usually damaged by heat are unaffected by waterjet cutting.The only common material it won't cut is tempered glass, although it works well on regular glass.

The Flow waterjet cutter is one of the most powerful tools in TechShop's arsenal. Using a high pressure stream of water mixed with abrasive garnet, the machine cuts precise shapes, lines and curves out of a wide variety of materials. It can cleanly cut through almost any flat material, including all kinds of metal, wood, glass, tile, marble, granite and more. It will cut the thinnest sheet metal as well as materials up to a foot thick. It creates no heat, so materials like stainless steel, glass and stone that are usually damaged by heat are unaffected by waterjet cutting.The only common material it won't cut is tempered glass, although it works well on regular glass.

Powder coating is a durable, simple to apply, easy to clean up, product. It is inexpensive, and more environmentally friendly than paint, as it has no VOCs and no solvents are used. The final product is more durable than paint, and powder is available in many colors and finish types. The parts must be baked at about 400 degrees for 15 minutes, so it will not work on magnetic items, or anything with grease in the part, like bearings.

The Flow waterjet cutter is one of the most powerful tools in TechShop's arsenal. Using a high pressure stream of water mixed with abrasive garnet, the machine cuts precise shapes, lines and curves out of a wide variety of materials. It can cleanly cut through almost any flat material, including all kinds of metal, wood, glass, tile, marble, granite and more. It will cut the thinnest sheet metal as well as materials up to a foot thick. It creates no heat, so materials like stainless steel, glass and stone that are usually damaged by heat are unaffected by waterjet cutting.The only common material it won't cut is tempered glass, although it works well on regular glass.

Powder coating is a durable, simple to apply, easy to clean up, product. It is inexpensive, and more environmentally friendly than paint, as it has no VOCs and no solvents are used. The final product is more durable than paint, and powder is available in many colors and finish types. The parts must be baked at about 400 degrees for 15 minutes, so it will not work on magnetic items, or anything with grease in the part, like bearings.

The Flow waterjet cutter is one of the most powerful tools in TechShop's arsenal. Using a high pressure stream of water mixed with abrasive garnet, the machine cuts precise shapes, lines and curves out of a wide variety of materials. It can cleanly cut through almost any flat material, including all kinds of metal, wood, glass, tile, marble, granite and more. It will cut the thinnest sheet metal as well as materials up to a foot thick. It creates no heat, so materials like stainless steel, glass and stone that are usually damaged by heat are unaffected by waterjet cutting.The only common material it won't cut is tempered glass, although it works well on regular glass.

Powder coating is a durable, simple to apply, easy to clean up, product. It is inexpensive, and more environmentally friendly than paint, as it has no VOCs and no solvents are used. The final product is more durable than paint, and powder is available in many colors and finish types. The parts must be baked at about 400 degrees for 15 minutes, so it will not work on magnetic items, or anything with grease in the part, like bearings.
