How Water Jet Cutting Services Save You Time & Money

If you’re looking for a company to handle a custom cutting job, such as crafting a metal sign or creating custom gaskets, there are a lot of options from which to choose.  Generally, cutting services based around lasers or physical saws get a lot of attention.  However, there’s a third option—water jet cutting services—that may be perfect for your needs!

Water jet cutting produces great results at lower prices than the alternatives.

How Water Jet Cutting Works

As the name suggests, water jet cutting literally uses a high-pressure stream of water.  And we do mean high pressure.  Our water jets shoot out at pressures of 60,000 PSI or even higher, focused through an aperture smaller than .01 inches.

The result is like a knife made of water, and it can cut through virtually anything.  Water jet cutting is most commonly associated with cutting hard stone, such as granite.  (In fact, it’s one of the only things that can cut granite smoothly.)  However, water jet cutting services can actually cut just about anything—and that’s how we distinguish ourselves.

Lasers have a tendency to burn the material being cut and sometimes because of the heat they generate can alter the chemical makeup of the material it cuts.  Saws and other physical cutting implements leave ragged edges that require post finishing.  Water jet cutting, on the other hand, is nearly instantaneous, while leaving a perfectly smooth cut that does no damage to the surrounding material. It can also cut just about any two dimensional shape in sizes smaller than a dime and larger than an SUV.

Water jet cutting services can even cut materials like foam, cork, rubber, steel and aluminum.

Plus, water jet cutting is remarkably eco-friendly.  After all, we’re often just using water.

The end result for you is this: water jet cutting services are faster and more efficient than other forms of cutting, and there’s no need for rework afterward because the cut is smooth.  That means, in most cases, water jet cutting is also the most affordable option.
