Hear from Our Customers
You’re looking at parts that come off the table ready to use. No burn marks, no warped edges, no secondary grinding to fix what heat destroyed. That’s what our waterjet cutting services in North Bay Shore, NY deliver.
The process uses abrasive waterjet cutting at pressures up to 60,000 PSI to slice through metals, composites, stone, glass, and plastics without changing their properties. Your material stays cool. Your tolerances stay tight. Your edges stay clean.
This matters when you’re building architectural features, fabricating custom parts, or producing components where precision isn’t negotiable. You’re not dealing with heat-affected zones that compromise strength. You’re not paying for extra finishing work. You’re getting parts that fit right the first time, which means your project stays on schedule and your costs stay predictable.
We operate right here in North Bay Shore, NY, serving manufacturers, fabricators, architects, and contractors across Long Island. We understand the pace of local manufacturing and the reality of tight deadlines in this market.
Our facility handles everything from single prototype pieces to production runs. We work with the materials you’re already using, and we know the applications you’re dealing with—whether that’s marine fabrication, architectural metalwork, automotive restoration, or industrial parts manufacturing.
You’re working with a shop that knows waterjet cutting isn’t just about the machine. It’s about understanding what you’re building, what tolerances you need, and what timeline you’re working against. That’s how we’ve built our reputation in the North Bay Shore area.
You send us your design file or specifications. We review it for manufacturability and flag any potential issues before we start cutting. If something won’t work the way you’ve drawn it, you’ll know upfront.
Once we’ve confirmed everything, we program the CNC waterjet system and set up your material. The cutting head follows your exact geometry, mixing water and abrasive garnet at extreme pressure to cut through whatever you’re using. For most projects in North Bay Shore, you’re looking at a 2-3 business day turnaround from approval to pickup.
The waterjet moves in precise paths, handling sharp corners, small holes, and complex shapes that would be difficult or impossible with other methods. Because there’s no heat, there’s no distortion. Because it’s CNC-controlled, every part matches your specs. You get consistent results whether you’re ordering one piece or a hundred.

You get precision cutting with tolerances down to ±0.001″ for critical applications. We handle materials up to several inches thick, depending on what you’re cutting. Metal, stone, glass, composites, plastics—if it’s cuttable, we can work with it.
Our custom waterjet cutting in North Bay Shore includes material consultation if you’re not sure what stock to use. We’ll tell you what works best for your application and what won’t hold up. We also provide design support to optimize your parts for waterjet manufacturing, which can save you material costs and cutting time.
Long Island’s manufacturing sector has specific needs—marine components that resist corrosion, architectural elements that meet local building codes, custom metalwork for restoration projects. We’ve cut parts for all of these applications. The advantage of working locally is that we understand these requirements and can deliver quickly when you’re on a tight schedule. North Bay Shore businesses don’t have time to wait for parts to ship from across the country, and they don’t have budget for mistakes. That’s why waterjet cutting makes sense here.
We cut metals including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and titanium. We also handle stone, granite, marble, glass, ceramics, composites, carbon fiber, and plastics. Basically, if it’s not tempered glass or certain hardened materials, waterjet can cut it.
The advantage is that you can cut dissimilar materials in the same setup without changing tools or processes. If you’re building an architectural feature that combines metal and stone, we can cut both. If you’re fabricating a composite part with metal inserts, we handle the whole thing.
Thickness depends on the material. We regularly cut steel up to 6 inches thick, aluminum even thicker. For harder materials like stone or thick stainless, cutting times increase but it’s still doable. If you’re not sure whether your material will work, send us the specs and we’ll tell you exactly what’s possible.
Standard waterjet cutting holds tolerances around ±0.005″. For applications that need tighter control, we can achieve ±0.001″ on certain features. That’s tight enough for most machined parts, tooling, and precision assemblies.
The key is that waterjet doesn’t create heat, so there’s no thermal expansion or warping during the cut. What you program is what you get. The material doesn’t move, doesn’t distort, and doesn’t change dimensions as it cools. That’s why waterjet works well for parts that need to fit together precisely.
Edge quality is also consistent. You’re not dealing with rough plasma cuts or laser edges that need deburring. Waterjet leaves a smooth, clean edge that’s often ready to use as-is. For parts that do need secondary machining, you’re starting with a much better surface than other cutting methods provide.
Most waterjet work in North Bay Shore gets completed in 2-3 business days from the time we receive your approved files and material. Rush jobs can often be accommodated if you’re facing a deadline. Larger production runs take longer, but we’ll give you an exact timeline upfront.
Turnaround depends on cutting complexity, material thickness, and current shop schedule. Simple parts in thin material cut faster than intricate designs in thick stock. We’ll tell you the realistic timeline when you submit your project, not after you’ve already committed.
If you’re local to North Bay Shore, pickup is straightforward. We can also arrange delivery for larger orders or bulky materials. The advantage of working with a local waterjet shop is that you’re not waiting for shipping or dealing with freight delays. You can often pick up parts the same day they’re finished.
Waterjet doesn’t generate heat, which means no warping, no hardened edges, and no heat-affected zones that change material properties. Laser and plasma both use thermal energy, which can distort thin materials and create hardness at the cut edge that makes secondary machining difficult.
Waterjet also cuts a wider range of materials. Laser works well on metals and some plastics, but it can’t cut stone, glass, or thick materials effectively. Plasma is limited to conductive metals. Waterjet handles all of it without changing setups or processes.
The tradeoff is speed. For thin sheet metal, laser and plasma cut faster. But when you factor in the time spent fixing warped parts, grinding rough edges, or dealing with rejected pieces, waterjet often comes out ahead. You’re getting finished parts, not rough cuts that need additional work. For North Bay Shore manufacturers who need quality and consistency, that matters more than raw cutting speed.
Yes. We cut single prototype pieces and production runs. The advantage of waterjet is that setup costs are lower than traditional machining, so small quantities make economic sense. You’re not paying for expensive tooling or long setup times.
For prototypes, waterjet lets you test designs quickly. If something doesn’t fit or needs modification, we can make changes and recut without major cost penalties. That’s valuable when you’re still refining a design or testing different materials.
Production runs benefit from waterjet’s consistency. Once we’ve programmed your part, every piece comes out identical. We can run the same job months later and get the same results. For North Bay Shore businesses that need repeat orders or ongoing supply, that reliability matters. You’re not dealing with tool wear or process drift that affects quality over time.
Send us a CAD file in DXF, DWG, or PDF format showing the part geometry. Include material type and thickness. If you have specific tolerance requirements or edge finish needs, mention those. The more detail you provide, the more accurate our quote will be.
If you don’t have CAD files, we can often work from sketches or samples. We’ll need dimensions and material specs at minimum. For complex parts, a phone conversation helps clarify what you’re trying to accomplish and whether waterjet is the right process.
We’ll review your design and let you know if there are any issues—features that are too small, corners that are too tight, or aspects that would be expensive to cut. Sometimes small design changes can significantly reduce cost without affecting function. That’s part of the consultation process. You’ll get a clear quote with turnaround time, and we’ll answer any questions before you commit to the job.
