If you need something cut, especially precisely, water jet cutting nay be your best choice. A custom waterjet cutting service can produce a wide range of products for you from nearly any material, from creating specialty gaskets to original signage or even custom floor designs.
There’s no other type of cutting technology on the market that can work with such a wide range of materials.
What Can A Water Jet Cut?
People often associate water jet cutting with hard stone, such as granite and marble, but that’s really the tip of the iceberg. A custom water jet cutting service can work with glass, plastics, aluminum, steel, composites, rubber, vinyl, and ceramics and stone.
Waterjet cutting is so robust because of how simple the basic technology is. It really is little more than a fine stream of water being sprayed at an incredibly high pressure. For extremely harder substances, we may also add an abrasive to increase the cutting capacity – usually finely-ground garnet.
This also allows us to offer advantages over other cutting types:
- No heat damage. Lasers are powerful but they are hot and can often burn the surrounding material they are cutting.
- No jagged edges. Waterjet cutting produces a completely smooth cut on the first try. There’s no need for finishing.

Is There Anything Waterjet Cutting Can’t Handle?
There are a few things a waterjet can’t cut, but it’s a very short list. Diamonds are one.So is super super-hard tempered glass and a handful of exotic alloys like Stellite or Talonite. Thise materials requires highly specialized cutting systems.
In short, pretty much the only limitation to our water jet cutting systems is your imagination. Sketch your idea on a napkin, or draw it on paper. Or give us virtually any type of computer file—png, jpg, pdf, eps, cad, etc.—and we’ll do the rest, even if it is a rush order.
