GMA ExcelCut

GMA ExcelCut is made of crushed, hard rock almandine garnet - the hardest form of garnet. Its sharp, angular particles provide high performance and precision in the most demanding waterjet cutting applications.

Perfect for maintaining high cutting speeds as well as for thick, brittle, or hard materials such as titanium, steel, and tungsten. It achieves precision cuts at the fastest rates for the most challenging waterjet applications.

Which mesh size is right for you?

GMA ExcelCut is available in three mesh sizes: 50, 80, and 120. Coarser grades are best for cutting thick or hard materials or in applications that require high precision. Finer grades are ideal for brittle materials like ceramics and glass and eliminate the need for secondary finishing.
