Waterjet Cutting, Welding & Fabrication

Precision Taper-Free Cutting (Tilt-A-Jet®)

Standard waterjets naturally produce a slight V-shaped taper — the deeper the cut, the more the tail of the jet lags. Our Tilt-A-Jet® head calculates the exact angle of the taper and tilts the nozzle to compensate, maintaining ±0.003″ to ±0.005″ tolerance on the part itself, even on materials 2 inches thick or more.

• Square edges: perfectly vertical edges even on thick materials.
• Interlocking parts: ideal for dovetail fittings, press-fit assemblies, and high-precision mechanical components.
• Reduced secondary costs: no expensive secondary milling or grinding to square up edges.

Welding & Fabrication

MIG and TIG welding, structural fabrication, and equipment repair and rebuilds — from one-off parts to production runs.

Safety Guarding & Railings

Machine guarding, safety railings, and handrails — designed, fabricated, and installed to keep your plant safe and compliant.

CAD & DXF Design

Don’t have a drawing? Send your sketch, dimensions, or just the idea — I’ll design the DXF file ready for cutting.

Material Compatibility & Thickness Guide

One of the greatest advantages of our OMAX 2652 JetMachining® Center is its versatility. Because it is a cold-cutting process, we can cut materials that lasers or plasmas would melt, crack, or warp.

Metals (Ferrous & Non-Ferrous)

The Tilt-A-Jet® is most effective here, ensuring that even thick plates have perfectly square edges.

Material	Common Applications	Thickness Range
Aluminum	Aerospace parts, brackets, signage	0.010″ – 8.0″
Stainless Steel	Food-grade equipment, marine hardware	0.010″ – 8.0″
Carbon / Mild Steel	Industrial base plates, structural	0.010″ – 8.0″
Titanium	Medical implants, high-performance racing	0.010″ – 8.0″
Copper & Brass	Electrical busbars, decorative accents	0.010″ – 8.0″

The Hydro Dynamics Advantage: Unlike laser cutting, we leave no Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ). The metal’s temper is preserved, and there is no slag or dross to grind off.

Composites & Plastics

Waterjet is the preferred method for composites because it doesn’t produce toxic fumes or cause delamination like high-heat methods.

• Carbon Fiber: precision cutting without splintering or fraying.
• G10 / Garolite: excellent for electrical insulators and knife handles.
• Acrylic (Plexiglass): clean, frosted edges; great for thick displays (up to 2″).
• Polycarbonate (Lexan): extremely durable cutting for guards and shields.
• UHMW & HDPE: ideal for wear strips and food-processing components.

Stone, Glass & Ceramics

Our submerged cutting capability allows us to process fragile materials with minimal risk of cracking.

• Granite & Marble: custom floor inlays, countertops, and memorials (up to 3cm+).
• Glass & Mirror: intricate shapes for architectural glass and backsplash. Note: we cannot cut tempered glass, as it is designed to shatter upon impact.
• Ceramic Tile: custom patterns and porcelain slab cutting for high-end interiors.

Soft Goods (Pure Waterjet)

For these materials, we remove the abrasive and use a water-only stream for fast production.

• Rubber: custom gaskets, seals, and vibration dampeners.
• Foam: custom tool chest inserts and protective packaging.
• Felt & Leather: industrial washers and upholstery accents.
