Top Benefits of Water Jet Cutting
Water jet cutting is a technique that is used to cut a variety of parts from a variety of different materials, including foam, rubber, plastic, aluminum and stone, to name just a few. Owing to its speed, flexibility and precision, it is a reliable and cost-effective manufacturing method that you may want to know about.

In fact, we like to say that our only limitation is your imagination.
Water jet cutting comes with a range of benefits …
CUTS VARIETY OF MATERIAL
Water jet cutting machines can cut geometrically complex designs in different sizes from materials including but not limited to metal, plastic, marble, granite and porcelain. They use a very fine, high pressure stream of water, typically between 50,000 to 60,000 psi, to do this.
The water jet cutting systems at Precision Cutting Service, can split or drill pipe and tubing up to 8 inches in diameter and 12 feet in length. Our largest flat material capability is 6’ x 12’ and our cutting tolerance for any project is .003.”
AVOIDS MATERIAL DISTORTION
The cold cutting properties of a water jet cutting machine allows operators to cut heat-sensitive material without changing the material’s chemical composition. Our systems do not burn, melt, or crack the material they cut and they always leave perfectly smooth edges that do not require post finishing, like sanding.
MINIMIZES WASTE PRODUCTION
Water jet cutting nozzles are controlled by computer and specially designed software that nests the product to be cut as efficiently as possible to get the maximum yield out of the material being cut. In addition to saving material, this also increases production speed, which in turn saves time and money. Also, water jet cutting does not produce hazardous waste because, after all, it is just water.
ELIMINATE SECONDARY PROCESSES
The precision and superior quality provided by water jet cutting systems always leave smooth edges so our clients can avoid secondary finishing processes which in turn save them money. In addition, if the parts we cut need to be assembled into a finished piece, we have a skilled team that does that, too, allowing our customers to use only one vendor instead of two or more.
Our clients vouch for our prompt, professional and personalized service. Not only do we provide them the flexibility to work from multiple file formats and design documents—CAD files, PDFs, blueprints, sketches and even parts that we can reengineer—but we also offer competitive rates. The Precision Cutting Service team is always available to helpyou make the best choice for your requirement and budget, and we are veterans in the industry who will ensure on-time delivery for every project, no matter the complexity or size of the order.
