OUR GARNET

The GMA advantage

GMA GarnetTM is a strong, natural mineral that outperforms other garnets due to its unique properties and our advanced processing methods, refined over 40 years. Unique grain hardness, toughness, density, and angularity ensure perfect edge quality on any material with a thickness of up to 30 inches.

Engineered for precision cutting

GMA’s range of waterjet cutting abrasives strikes the perfect balance of cutting efficiency and edge quality for results that improve production uptime.

Hardness

The harder the grain the better it cuts. Our garnet is hard, tough, and dense — the perfect combination for fast and effective cutting, with low abrasive consumption and excellent edge quality.

Consistent grain sizing

Inconsistent grain sizing causes blockages, creating unsteady abrasive pressure and flow, fluctuating cutting speed, and poor edge quality.

Our processing methods ensure every bag contains the most precisely-sized grains of garnet. It accelerates production and reduces the frequency of expensive parts replacements.

Cleanliness & purity

Dusty, dirty, or impure garnet impacts cutting performance, causes frequently blocked focussing tubes, or even damaging the parts being cut. However, GMA’s advanced processing methods produce the cleanest garnet for the cleanest results.
