They use a computer controlled, high-speed, high-pressure and very fine stream of water to precisely cut virtually any material for various applications, including auto parts, aerospace components, gaskets, dimensional signs, architectural flooring, kitchen and bathroom backsplashes and more.

The pressurized water shoots through a small-bore nozzle, enabling it to cut tight tolerances up to .003.” It can also be enhanced with abrasives, such as diamond dust, to improve its cutting power. The resulting output is always a precisely cut product with smooth edges that do require secondary finishing.

As a leading waterjet cutting service provider, Precision Cutting Service employs multiple waterjet cutting systems to cut material as large as 6’ x 12’ and as thick as 8.” We also make intricate cuts in pieces as small or smaller than a dime. We produce top-quality gaskets, floor medallions, OEM parts, 3D signs and other products for hundreds of clients nationwide, and we can do the same for you. In short, we are well-equipped to fulfill virtually any cutting requirement efficiently and effectively.

Waterjet Cut Floor Medallion

Here’s a quick look at the material our waterjet machines can cut:
Stone
Granite, marble, porcelain and other hard natural materials do not provide a difficult cutting challenge for our water jet cutting systems. Our sophisticated waterjet cutting systems can cut the stone designs you require with relative ease. Floor medallions and kitchen backsplashes tend to be the most popular applications for stone.

Metals
Waterjet cutting is particularly effective for stainless steel, aluminum, iron, titanium and other alloys.

Some cutting methods, such as lasers and plasma devices, can change the chemical composition and properties of metal because of the heat they generate. This can be problematic for applications when maintaining the integrity of the metal is important.

Waterjet cutting, on the other hand, is the superior choice for cutting metals because it is a cold cutting technology that eliminates any possibility of damage to the material being cut. Plus, it is precise, fast and always leaves a smooth edge that does not require sanding or filing after the material has been cut.

Glass
Water jet cutting systems are and excellent choice for cutting glass. Their fine, precise streams of water prevent cracking, chipping or shattering, even when cutting small or complicated pieces. And every cut edge is as smooth as glass, so to speak.

Water Jet Cutting Metal

Plastics and Composites
Again, heat-based cutting methods typically burn or melt plastic, making precise, clean cuts impossible. Saw blades can cut plastic but require a lot of post cut finishing, like sanding. In addition, saws are not particularly effective for making small, intricate cuts.

Waterjet cutting solves these issues. It maintains the integrity of the plastic or composite material and produces fast, precise, smooth and affordable cuts for everything from carbon fiber and rubber, to acrylics and foam—all to your exact specifications.

For more than 28 years, Precision Cutting Service has worked with gasket manufacturers, architects, corporate purchasing departments, machine shops, furniture designers and others to produce top quality parts and products. Always ready for assignments large or small, our friendly veteran team offers tailored solutions for your specific needs with responsive service and timely delivery.

Busting 4 Myths About Waterjet Cutting https://precisioncuttingservice.com/waterjet-cutting-myths/ Mon, 21 Feb 2022 16:43:07 +0000 https://precisioncuttingservice.com/?p=1769 Precision Cutting Service has been in the waterjet cutting business for more than 25 years and during this time we have heard our share of concerns about waterjet cutting’s capabilities. Most, if not all, were unfounded. Indeed, today, water jet cutting is one of the most sought after cutting methods by business and industry. Work still needs to be done, however, to spread awareness about waterjet cutting’s capabilities. Read on as we address four common misconceptions about waterjet cutting’s perceived limitations.waterjet cutting services

As industry veterans, we’ve used our waterjet cutting systems to cut and fabricate thousands of top-quality parts and assemblies from a wide range of materials and in a multitude of different sizes and shapes. Having worked with gasket manufacturers, machine shops, furniture designers, aerospace engineers, corporate purchasing departments, graphic artists, and architects, to name a few, our water jet cutting service offers sharp, competitive pricing, comprehensive design and fabrication capabilities, and rapid and timely delivery—all by efficiently producing incredibly precise and smooth cuts to tolerances of .003±.”

Myth #1—Waterjet Can Only Cut a Few Different Materials
Waterjet cutting can accommodate a diverse range of materials, including, but not limited to, metals, plastics, stone, glass, ceramic, foam and composites. Waterjet cutting will easily cut through these materials without harming them, unlike laser cutting, that can damage many materials. Because it doesn’t have heat-affected zones or leave rough edges, waterjet cutting eliminates the need for secondary finishing, like sanding and filing, saving you both time and money. If you aren’t sure about what material will work best for you, get in touch and we will share our recommendations.

Myth #2—Waterjet Cutting Isn’t Accurate Enough to Cut Intricate Parts
As indicated above, waterjet cutting systems are capable of tight tolerances because they use highly pressurized, extremely thin jets of water to slice smoothly through the material they have been assigned to cut. Whether you need a prototype for research, a finished part for your factory, or a large dimensional sign for your building, Precision Cutting Service can easily produce them and more. Because our cutting nozzles are computer controlled (aka, CNC), we feed the exact dimensions of the item(s) you need into our computers to produce the perfectly finished part you need. Simply furnish us with a CAD or PDF file, vector graphic, blue print, sketch or the physical part you need to replicate and we’ll do the rest.

Myth #3—Waterjet Cutting Can Only Handle Small Scale Projects
In our more than 25 years of service, we have produced large products, small products and everything in-between. We’ve produced large volume orders, one-offs and, again, everything in-between. If you have questions about our capabilities in this regard, reach out to us at your convenience.

Myth #4—Waterjet Cutting Is Expensive
Waterjet cutting is quicker and often more accurate than other techniques and doesn’t require post finishing. Because our cutting nozzles are computer controlled, they can tightly nest parts into the material to be cut so than waste is minimized. And waterjet cutting is more energy-efficient than lasers and other cutting techniques. Consequently, water jet cutting saves you money and time. For decades, and nationwide, our waterjet cutting systems have proven they can meet just about any cutting challenge.waterjet cutting
