Wesjet is a water washed, precision screened, high quality abrasive. Wesjet is crushed, sized, and washed providing a super clean waterjet abrasive garnet. Wesjet is sized to meet the requirements of different nozzle orifice configurations. Wesjet ranges in sizes from 40WS to 120WS.

Wesjet will provide you with exceptional cutting speed; a minimal kerf and variance and a better edge finish, without a change in machine speed. The grain hardness of Wesjet adds to its cutting ability for all waterjet applications. Wesjet is produced from the hardest garnets in North America, found only in our Emerald Creek Garnet deposit in Fernwood, Idaho, USA.
