Water Jet Cutting

We are able to cut almost any material. We can work with you to meet your needs or send us your DXF file to be cut ASAP.

We also have an extensive range of screen designs to choose from or we can custom make one to suit your needs.

Water Jet Advantages

One of the biggest advantages is waterjet’s inherent cold cutting quality. This allows materials to be cut that would be burned, melted, or cracked by other cutting methods. Some thermal processes cause surface hardening, warping and emission of hazardous gasses. In contrast, materials cut with waterjet undergo no thermal stress, eliminating such undesirable results.

• Cold cutting – no heat affected zones, no hardening
• Omni-directional cutting – ability to cut in any direction
• Perforates most materials without starting holes
• Cuts virtually any material
• Net-shape or near-net-shape parts (no secondary processing required in many applications)
• Minimal fixturing required
• Environmentally friendly
• Reduces dust and hazardous gases
• Does not workload material – stress-free cutting
• Flexible machine integration
• Saves raw materials (small cutting kerf width, nesting capabilities)
• Faster than many conventional cutting tools
