Four Reasons Why Waterjet Cutting Is the Right Choice for Your Next Metal Fabrication Project

When it comes to metal fabrication, businesses across all industries trust Precision Cutting Service to carry out an end-to-end service for their finished products—from cutting, bending, forming, and powder coating, to assembling and welding. Whether it’s a one-off assembly, a complicated build or a large production run, our advanced waterjet cutting technology and experienced manufacturing team have earned the reputation as one of the nation’s best metal fabrication operations.

Cleaner results, precise cuts, reliable outputs, and cost savings are just some of the benefits our clients achieve from waterjet cutting. With impeccable precision, our computer assisted design and cutting capabilities help build dependable, cost-effective products. Pipe, steel, aluminum, titanium, iron, copper or brass—there is no limit to the materials our advanced waterjet systems can handle.Metal Fabrication Electrical Assembly

Here are some reasons why our cold-cutting technology might be the best choice for your next metal fabrication project:

1—No Material Limitations
When water is blasted at 60,000 PSI through a .15mm diameter nozzle, the stream of water released is so sharp and powerful that it can cut through virtually any material. In addition, depending on the material type, the stream water can be enhanced with abrasives to improve its cutting speed and power.

2—Versatility
Unlike laser cutting technology that can harm or distort material because of the extreme heat it generates, our waterjet cutting systems cut through material safety because they only use cold water. Also, lasers generally struggle to cut through thick material, whereas our waterjet machines easily cut material that is six or more inches thick. Plus, with tolerances of ±.003,” our waterjet cutting machines precisely cut straight-forward and geometrically complex designs with precision in sizes as small or smaller than a dime and as large or larger than a full-size SUV.

3—No Heat Affected Zones
As indicated above, laser cutting can burn, melt and change the chemical composition of the material it cuts. High temperatures from laser cutting technology often result in what are commonly called Heat Affected Zones. When this happens, additional finishing like sanding or polishing is typically required. Sometimes the freshly cut part is so badly damaged by the laser’s heat that the part needs to be replaced. Our water jet cutting systems completely eliminate heat related damage and post-cutting finishing requirements. Every cut our systems make is smooth, precise and guaranteed to perform as specified.

4—Cost-effective, Waste Reduction
The advanced part nesting capabilities of our waterjet cutting systems minimize material waste because it maximizes the number of parts that can be cut from a piece of material. Also, as mentioned earlier, the accuracy of our cutting capabilities eliminates the need for post-finishing, saving you both time and money.
