You need parts that fit. Tolerances that hold. Materials that don’t warp under heat or pressure.
Custom waterjet cutting in Wyandanch, NY gives you that. The process uses high-pressure water mixed with abrasive garnet to slice through virtually any material without introducing heat. No distortion. No hardened edges. No secondary cleanup on most jobs.
That means your steel comes out flat. Your aluminum doesn’t warp. Your composites don’t delaminate. You get parts that match your CAD file, whether you’re running one prototype or a full production batch. And because the cutting stream is cold, your material properties stay intact from edge to edge.
If you’re tired of reworking parts or dealing with heat-affected zones that throw off your specs, this is the difference. You send a file, we cut it clean, and you move forward.
We operate out of West Islip and serve manufacturers, contractors, and designers across Wyandanch, NY and the surrounding Suffolk County area. We run a Flow Mach 500 CNC system that cuts directly from your CAD design, so what you draw is what you get.
We’ve handled projects for architects needing intricate stone inlays, fabricators cutting structural steel, and shops prototyping parts in materials that don’t play well with lasers or plasma. Wyandanch sits in a manufacturing corridor where precision matters, and we’ve built our process around that.
You’re not working with a middleman. You’re working with the shop that’s actually running the machine.
You send us your design file—DXF, DWG, or most CAD formats work. If you don’t have a file yet, we can help you create one based on sketches, samples, or specs.
Once we have the design, we load it into the CNC controller and set up your material on the cutting bed. The waterjet nozzle follows your design path using a stream of water pressurized up to 60,000 PSI, mixed with fine garnet abrasive. It cuts through the material without generating heat, so there’s no melting, no warping, no heat-affected zone.
For thicker materials or complex geometries, we can run multiple passes or adjust speed and pressure to maintain accuracy. The process handles everything from 1/8″ aluminum to 6″ stone. After cutting, most parts come off the table ready to use—no grinding, no deburring, no extra finishing unless your application requires it.
Turnaround depends on complexity and material, but we prioritize clear timelines. You’ll know what to expect before we start.
Ready to get started?
Every waterjet cutting project in Wyandanch, NY includes CNC programming directly from your CAD file, material setup, and precision cutting with our Flow Mach 500 system. You also get material consultation if you’re unsure what thickness or type will work best for your application.
We cut metals like steel, stainless, aluminum, titanium, and copper. We also handle stone, glass, composites, plastics, rubber, and foam. If you’re in Wyandanch or nearby areas like Deer Park, North Babylon, or Brentwood, we’re close enough to coordinate on tighter timelines or pickup schedules.
Because Wyandanch has a strong base of contractors and small manufacturers, we’re used to working with varying volumes—from single custom pieces for architectural projects to repeat production runs for local shops. Our abrasive waterjet cutting process doesn’t require tool changes between materials, so switching from one job to another is faster than traditional machining.
You’ll receive parts cut to your specs, with edges that are clean enough for most assemblies without additional work. If you need secondary services like drilling, tapping, or finishing, we can discuss that during quoting.
Waterjet cutting works on nearly any material you’d find in a fabrication or manufacturing shop. Metals are the most common—steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, titanium, and tool steels all cut cleanly without heat distortion.
Beyond metals, we regularly cut stone, granite, marble, glass, ceramic tile, and composites like carbon fiber or fiberglass. Plastics, rubber, foam, and gasket materials also work well. The process is cold, so there’s no melting or fumes, which makes it ideal for materials that don’t respond well to lasers or plasma.
The limitation isn’t usually the material itself—it’s thickness. We can cut up to 6 inches in most materials, though cutting speed slows as thickness increases. If you’re not sure whether your material will work, send us the specs and we’ll tell you straight.
Waterjet cutting typically holds tolerances within ±0.005″ on most materials under 2 inches thick. That’s tight enough for brackets, flanges, gaskets, and most mechanical components. Thicker materials can see slightly wider tolerances due to stream taper, but we adjust feed rates and pressure to minimize that.
Because the cutting process is CNC controlled, repeatability is strong. If you need ten identical parts, they’ll match. The kerf width—the amount of material removed by the cutting stream—is narrow, usually around 0.03″ to 0.04″, so you’re not losing much material per cut.
For applications requiring even tighter tolerances, we can discuss secondary machining or adjustments to the cutting path. But in most cases, parts come off the table ready to use. If your project has specific tolerance requirements, include them in your file notes or mention them when you reach out.
Turnaround depends on material type, thickness, and complexity of the design. Simple shapes in thin material—like 1/4″ aluminum brackets—can often be cut the same day or next day if we’re not backlogged. More complex parts or thicker materials take longer because the cutting head moves slower to maintain accuracy.
A single prototype part might take an hour of machine time, while a batch of 50 pieces could take a full day depending on size and detail. We’ll give you an estimated timeline when you submit your design. If you’re on a tight deadline, let us know up front—we can often prioritize rush jobs.
One advantage of waterjet cutting is that setup time is minimal compared to traditional machining. There’s no tooling to fabricate, no dies to build. We load your file, secure your material, and start cutting. That makes it faster for low-volume or one-off projects.
We can work either way. If you already have material on hand, you can drop it off or arrange delivery, and we’ll cut from your stock. That’s common with contractors or shops that buy material in bulk.
If you need us to source the material, we can do that too. We work with local suppliers across Long Island and can usually get standard metals, plastics, and stone within a few days. Specialty materials or specific alloys might take longer depending on availability.
Providing your own material can save on cost, but it also means you’re responsible for ensuring it’s the right thickness, grade, and size for the job. If there’s any question about whether your material will work, bring a sample or send us the specs before you commit to a full order. We’d rather catch an issue early than waste your material on a cut that doesn’t meet your needs.
The biggest difference is heat. Laser cutting uses a focused beam that melts through material, which works great for thin metals but introduces a heat-affected zone. That can cause warping, hardened edges, or discoloration—especially in thicker materials or metals like aluminum and stainless steel.
Waterjet cutting is a cold process. No heat means no distortion, no hardened edges, and no change to the material’s properties. That makes it better for thicker materials, heat-sensitive materials, and applications where you can’t afford warping.
Lasers are faster on thin sheet metal, usually under 1/4″. Waterjet is slower but handles a much wider range of materials and thicknesses. You can’t laser-cut stone, glass, or composites. You can with waterjet. If your project involves multiple materials or anything thicker than 1/2″, waterjet is usually the better choice. If you’re cutting thin steel and speed matters more than edge quality, laser might make sense.
Cost depends on material type, thickness, cutting time, and design complexity. Thicker materials take longer to cut, which increases machine time. Intricate designs with tight curves or small details also slow the cutting head down, adding to the cost.
As a rough guideline, simple parts in thin material might run $50 to $150 depending on size. Larger or more complex parts in thick material can run several hundred dollars. We charge based on machine time, material cost (if we’re sourcing it), and any design work needed to prepare your file.
The best way to get an accurate price is to send us your design file along with material specs and quantity. We’ll review it and give you a quote that breaks down the costs. If you’re comparing waterjet to other cutting methods, keep in mind that waterjet often eliminates secondary finishing, which can offset the higher per-cut cost. You’re paying for precision and versatility.
