Cutting service

Waterjet cutting to your drawing

We cut with a very high-pressure water jet and added abrasive: steel up to 200 mm thick, non-ferrous metals and ceramics. The cut is cold, so the structure of the material does not change and the part can go straight on to further machining. We make one-offs and production runs, as a stand-alone service or for your project.

How waterjet cutting works

Cold cutting, even for the thickest plates

Water at very high pressure, mixed with abrasive, leaves a narrow nozzle and cuts the material along a program made from your drawing. The head tilts from 0 to 70°, so the machine can cut bevelled edges as well as straight cuts.

The cut is cold: there is no overheating at the edge, no hardened heat-affected zone and no micro-cracks. What this means for you: the cut part keeps the full strength and toughness of the material and can then be milled, turned, drilled and ground without problems.

Applications

What we cut by waterjet

Thick steel plates

Plates, flanges and brackets in solid steel up to 200 mm thick, including parts that carry heavy loads.

Blanks for machining

A part cut without heat goes straight to milling, turning or drilling, with no hardened edge to remove first.

Non-ferrous metals and ceramics

Besides steel and steel alloys, we cut non-ferrous metals and ceramics. For other materials, send us an enquiry.

FAQ

Questions about waterjet cutting

How thick a steel plate can you cut?

We cut steel up to 200 mm thick. For other materials, we confirm the thickness based on the drawing.

Does the material heat up during cutting?

No. Waterjet cuts with water and abrasive, with no heat input, so there is no hardened zone at the edge and the material structure stays the same.

Can you machine the part after cutting?

Yes. We can bend the cut part on the CNC press brake, or turn, mill and drill it, so you get a finished part from a single workshop.

Do you make one-off parts?

Yes, we make both one-offs and production runs. We quote the price and lead time based on the drawing and quantity.
