Durable Reusable Waterproof Waterjet Cutting Board

In the world of high-pressure abrasive waterjet cutting, the focus is usually on the nozzle and the pump. However, seasoned operators know that the cutting support surface​ is just as critical. Traditional steel slats often lead to "frosting" on the bottom of finished parts and cause small pieces to fall into the catcher tank. This is where the Mantis Board​ steps in-a game-changing innovation designed to optimize your waterjet table.

Manufactured from a robust Polypropylene-Polyethylene (PP/PE) co-polymer, the Mantis Board features a unique honeycomb or twin-wall structure. Unlike metal grates, this polymer surface provides a slightly yielding yet flat foundation. It prevents delicate or miniature components from vibrating during the cut, ensuring dimensional accuracy. More importantly, it acts as a barrier against abrasive splash-back, protecting the edges of your material from unwanted marks.

One of the standout features of the Mantis system is its modularity. Available in standard sizes like 54.5″ × 30″​ or metric dimensions such as 1200 × 800 mm, these boards and bricks can be laid directly over existing slats. When one section wears out, simply flip it over or replace that single piece-no need to overhaul the entire table. The lightweight nature of the PP/PE material means easier handling, while its recyclability aligns with modern environmental standards.

Whether you are cutting intricate metal designs, thick stone, or composite materials, the Mantis Board ensures that every part stays put, remains clean, and is easy to retrieve. It's more than just a board; it's an upgrade to your production efficiency.
