Hear from Our Customers
You stop wasting time on secondary finishing. The edges come out clean, burr-free, and ready to use.
Your material doesn’t warp, melt, or develop heat-affected zones that compromise structural integrity. That matters when you’re working with aerospace-grade aluminum, thick stainless steel, or composite materials that cost real money.
Precision CNC waterjet cutting in Floral Park, NY means you can produce complex geometries in one pass. No tool changes. No repositioning. No wondering if the tolerances will hold when you’re cutting 6-inch titanium or 1/16-inch brass on the same machine.
The parts fit together the first time. Your assembly process moves faster. Your customers get what they ordered, when they ordered it.
We operate out of West Islip, serving manufacturers, fabricators, architects, and contractors throughout Nassau County and the greater New York area. Floral Park sits right in our service zone.
We’re not a general machine shop that happens to have a waterjet. This is what we do. Precision water jet cutting services for clients who need tight tolerances, fast turnarounds, and materials cut without thermal damage.
You’re working in an area with active industrial and commercial development. Floral Park’s proximity to major transportation routes means you need a cutting partner who understands deadlines and can handle everything from prototypes to production runs without the runaround.
You send us your design files or specs. We review them for feasibility and discuss material selection if you need input on what works best for your application.
We program the CNC waterjet system based on your exact specifications. The cutting head follows the programmed path using a high-pressure stream of water mixed with abrasive garnet particles. This cold-cutting process means zero heat transfer to your material.
For complex parts, our 5-axis waterjet cutting capability handles angles and orientations that would require multiple setups on conventional equipment. The machine adjusts the cutting head position in real time to maintain precision through the entire cut.
Once cutting is complete, parts are cleaned and inspected. Most jobs require no additional finishing because the edge quality is already there. You get parts that meet your tolerances, usually within 24-48 hours for standard projects.

Tolerances down to ±0.001 inch on materials ranging from soft plastics to hardened tool steel. That level of accuracy matters when you’re producing parts for aerospace, automotive, or medical device applications common in the Nassau County manufacturing sector.
Material thickness capacity up to 8 inches. Whether you’re cutting thin gauge sheet metal for architectural panels or thick plate for marine fabrication, the process handles it without switching equipment.
Clean, finished edges that typically eliminate secondary deburring or grinding operations. The abrasive waterjet process produces a fine surface finish that’s ready for assembly or coating. You save time and labor costs on every part.
Multi-material cutting capability in a single setup. Stack different materials, nest multiple part geometries, or cut dissimilar metals without worrying about contamination or tool wear. The process doesn’t care what it’s cutting through.
Standard precision waterjet cutting holds ±0.005 inch consistently across most materials and thicknesses. That’s tight enough for the majority of mechanical components, brackets, and fabricated assemblies.
High precision waterjet cutting in Floral Park, NY using advanced CNC controls and newer cutting heads can achieve ±0.001 inch on critical dimensions. You’ll see this level of accuracy on parts under 2 inches thick with optimized cutting parameters.
The tolerance you get depends on material thickness, cutting speed, and part complexity. Thicker materials and faster cutting speeds open up tolerances slightly. If you need specific tolerances verified, send us your specs and we’ll tell you exactly what’s achievable before you commit to the job.
Waterjet cutting is a cold process. The water stream stays below 140°F at the cutting point, which means your material never experiences thermal stress, warping, or changes to its metallurgical properties.
Laser and plasma cutting generate intense localized heat that creates a heat-affected zone around every cut edge. That zone can be hardened, weakened, or dimensionally distorted depending on the material. You often need to machine or grind those edges afterward to restore the material properties.
With precision waterjet cutting for tight tolerances in Floral Park, NY, the material properties remain unchanged from edge to center. That matters when you’re cutting pre-hardened tool steel, tempered aluminum, or composite materials that would delaminate under heat. The part that comes off the table is the same part you specified, with no surprises.
Metals are the most common: aluminum, stainless steel, carbon steel, titanium, brass, copper, Inconel, and tool steels. Thickness ranges from thin foil up to 8-inch plate depending on material hardness.
Non-metals include plastics (acrylic, polycarbonate, HDPE, nylon), composites (carbon fiber, fiberglass, G10), glass, ceramic, stone, and rubber. The process doesn’t generate heat, so materials that would melt, burn, or crack under laser cutting come out clean.
The limitation is material brittleness under high-pressure water impact. Extremely fragile materials or those with internal voids may not be suitable. If you’re unsure whether your material works with waterjet cutting, send us a sample or the material specs and we’ll run a test cut before committing to your full order.
Standard jobs typically ship within 24-48 hours from file approval. That includes programming, cutting, inspection, and packaging.
Rush projects can be completed same-day or next-day if you need parts immediately for a deadline. We run our precision waterjet cutting shop near Floral Park, NY with enough capacity to handle urgent requests without sacrificing quality.
Larger production runs or complex multi-axis parts may take 3-5 days depending on total machine time and inspection requirements. When you submit your project, we’ll give you an exact timeline based on current shop load and your specific requirements. No guessing, no vague estimates.
Yes. CNC programming allows the cutting head to follow any 2D path you can draw, including tight inside corners, small holes, and intricate patterns. Minimum feature size is typically around 0.030 inch depending on material thickness.
Our 5-axis waterjet cutting capability adds another dimension. The cutting head can tilt and rotate to produce angled cuts, beveled edges, and complex 3D geometries without repositioning the material. That’s critical for aerospace components, architectural metalwork, and custom fabrication projects.
The limitation is inside corner radius. Waterjet cutting produces a small radius in sharp inside corners due to the kerf width of the cutting stream. If you need truly sharp inside corners, those can be finished with secondary machining. Outside corners, curves, and complex profiles come out exactly as programmed.
Waterjet cutting makes sense when you need complex 2D shapes cut from plate or sheet material without heat distortion. It’s faster and more cost-effective than programming CNC milling operations for parts that don’t require 3D machining.
Compared to laser cutting, you get no heat-affected zone, no material hardening at the cut edge, and the ability to cut thicker materials. Laser struggles with anything over 1 inch thick and can’t cut reflective materials like copper or brass effectively. Waterjet handles both without issue.
The trade-off is edge finish and speed. Laser cutting produces a slightly smoother edge on thin materials and cuts faster on sheet metal under 1/2 inch. But if you’re cutting stainless over 1 inch thick, titanium, or any material where heat damage is a concern, precision waterjet cutting in Floral Park, NY is the better process. You get the part right the first time, with no secondary operations to fix heat damage.
