Waterjet cutting
Although waterjet cutting is primarily used for stainless steel pipe, it uses an extremely high-pressure stream of water to cut through metal and other features. This tool is extremely precise and creates an even, burr-free edge in almost any design.

Advantages of waterjet cutting

Highly accurate

Ideal for tight tolerances

Cuts can be made up to approximately 6 inches thick

Produce parts with accuracy better than 0.002 inches

Reduce various materials

Will not cause micro cracks

No smoke is produced during cutting

Easy to maintain and use

Our waterjet cutting process is computerized so we can print your design and precisely waterjet cut your custom parts to ensure the end result is exactly what you expected. 

Plasma cutting
Plasma cutting uses a cutting torch with an accelerated jet of hot plasma to cut metal and other materials to size. This cutting method is cost-effective while maintaining extremely high quality and precision.

Advantages of plasma cutting

Cut a variety of materials

Economical and efficient to use

Operate with in-house plasma cutting unit

Cutting capacity up to 3 inches thick, 8 feet wide and 22 inches long

Produce parts with accuracy better than 0.008 inches

Impressive hole quality

Custom cuts are based on customer project specifications with tighter tolerances, ultimately saving you money and production time.

Sawing

Sawing, the most basic of the three cutting methods, utilizes a fully automatic saw capable of cutting metal and a variety of other materials in multiple fast, clean cuts.

Advantages of sawing

Fully automatic band saw
