FAQ

Common Questions

Waterjet when the part is thick, heat sensitive, or not metal. Laser for the cleanest edge on thin to mid stock. Plasma for fast cuts in heavy steel. Send the specs and we will recommend one.

Often it is the more cost effective choice for thick material and intricate designs where laser is not an option.

Up to 2 inch in mild steel, stainless, and aluminum. Non metals vary by material, so send the specs.

No. Waterjet cuts cold with water and garnet abrasive, so there is no heat affected zone, no hardening, and no warping. The edge can be welded, machined, or tapped straight off the table, which matters on stainless, aluminum, and parts that need secondary machining.
