Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about waterjet cutting and our services.
What is waterjet cutting?
Waterjet cutting is a cold-cutting process that uses a high-pressure stream of water, or water mixed with an abrasive, to cut through virtually any material. Because it generates no heat, there are no heat-affected zones, no thermal distortion, and no material hardening.
What materials can you cut?
We cut a wide range of materials including aluminum, stainless steel, carbon steel, nickel alloy, titanium, copper, brass, Inconel, glass, granite, marble, quartz, composites, fiberglass, rubber, foam, wood, Corian, laminates, and gasket materials.
How thick can you cut?
Our equipment can cut metals up to 8 inches thick and handles both sheets and plates. Cutting capacity varies by material — contact us with your specific requirements.
What is the difference between waterjet and laser cutting?
Laser cutting works well for thin, non-reflective materials but generates heat that can warp or harden the material. Waterjet cutting handles a much wider range of materials with no heat-affected zones, no warping, and no material hardening — making it the better choice for heat-sensitive materials, thicker stock, and jobs where edge quality matters.
Can you cut complex and intricate shapes?
Absolutely. Our waterjet machine handles complex profiles, tight curves, detailed logos, custom brackets, architectural shapes, and more — all with clean edges and high accuracy. If you can draw it, we can cut it.
Do you offer finishing services?
Yes. Beyond cutting, we offer filing and deburring, finishing, grinding, polishing, bending, drilling, forming, heat treating, rolling, and stamping — delivering fully finished parts when needed.
