You don’t have time for parts that come back warped, distorted, or a few microns off spec. That’s the reality with traditional cutting methods that generate heat and stress your material.
Waterjet cutting metal eliminates that problem entirely. The cold-cutting process means no heat-affected zones, no microscopic cracks, and no material distortion. Your aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, or composite parts maintain their structural integrity from the first cut.
You get burr-free edges that often don’t need secondary finishing. That means faster turnaround, lower costs, and parts that meet your dimensional requirements without the back-and-forth. Whether you’re running a prototype or a production batch, the cuts stay consistent and your tolerances stay tight.
We serve manufacturers, fabricators, and contractors throughout Coram, NY and the surrounding Long Island area. We understand the demands of local aerospace suppliers, marine fabricators, and custom manufacturers who need precision without compromise.
Our facility at 217 Union Blvd in West Islip puts us close enough to respond quickly when your project timeline tightens. We’ve built our reputation on accuracy and reliability because we know that in industries like aerospace and medical devices, there’s no room for error.
You’re working with a team that knows the difference between acceptable and exact. We handle the technical details so you can focus on your project, not on fixing parts that didn’t meet spec.
The process starts with your CAD file or technical drawing. Our CNC metal waterjet cutting system translates your design into precise cutting paths, accounting for material thickness and edge quality requirements.
Water pressurized up to 90,000 psi gets forced through a diamond or sapphire orifice, creating a focused stream that moves at speeds exceeding Mach 2. For harder materials like steel or titanium, we add abrasive garnet to the stream. The jet cuts through your material without generating heat, leaving clean edges and maintaining dimensional accuracy.
You can watch the process if you want, or just pick up finished parts ready for assembly. There’s no tool wear affecting consistency between the first part and the last. No heat buildup causing warping halfway through your run. Just repeatable precision across your entire order, whether that’s one prototype or a hundred production pieces.
Ready to get started?
Every metal waterjet cutting project includes material consultation before we start. If you’re unsure whether your material choice will hold up to your application, we’ll tell you. We work with steel, aluminum, titanium, stainless steel, brass, copper, and specialty alloys commonly used in aerospace and marine applications throughout Long Island.
You get precision cutting with tolerances between ±0.003 and ±0.005 inches, depending on material thickness and complexity. We handle everything from simple brackets and mounting plates to complex geometries with intricate interior cutouts. Our 5-axis capability means we can cut beveled edges, tapered profiles, and contoured surfaces that would require multiple setups with conventional methods.
Coram’s manufacturing sector increasingly demands environmentally responsible processes. Waterjet cutting produces no hazardous fumes, uses recyclable water, and generates inert waste that’s safe for standard disposal. You meet environmental compliance requirements without sacrificing precision or speed. We also provide quick turnaround for both prototypes and production runs, because we know your project timeline doesn’t wait for extended lead times.
We cut virtually any material you’re working with. Metals include steel up to 6 inches thick, aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, brass, copper, and specialty alloys used in aerospace and marine applications.
Beyond metals, waterjet handles stone, glass, ceramics, composites, plastics, rubber, and foam. The process doesn’t rely on material hardness like traditional cutting methods do. If you’re working with exotic materials or aren’t sure if waterjet is right for your application, bring us a sample or your material specs and we’ll give you a straight answer.
The key advantage is that we can cut dissimilar materials without changing equipment or methods. If your project uses multiple material types, you’re not coordinating with different shops or waiting for different processes.
Our CNC metal waterjet cutting in Coram, NY achieves tolerances between ±0.003 and ±0.005 inches consistently. That level of precision works for aerospace components, medical device parts, and other applications where dimensional accuracy isn’t negotiable.
The accuracy stays consistent because there’s no tool wear affecting cut quality. A drill bit dulls. A saw blade degrades. The waterjet stream doesn’t change between your first part and your hundredth. You get the same edge quality and dimensional accuracy across your entire production run.
For parts requiring even tighter tolerances in specific areas, we can often achieve better than ±0.003 inches depending on material type and thickness. If your prints call for tolerances we can’t hit, we’ll tell you upfront rather than waste your time and material.
No. The cold-cutting process generates zero heat, which means no heat-affected zones, no hardening, no softening, and no thermal distortion. Your material properties stay exactly as they were before cutting.
You won’t see burrs on the cut edges. The high-pressure stream creates clean cuts that often eliminate secondary deburring operations entirely. For most applications, parts come off our table ready for the next step in your process, whether that’s welding, assembly, or finishing.
This matters especially for thin materials or parts with tight tolerances. Heat from laser or plasma cutting can warp thin stock or create internal stresses that cause problems during assembly. Waterjet cutting metal avoids those issues completely, which is why fabricators working with precision components choose this method.
Turnaround depends on material thickness, complexity, and current queue, but we prioritize quick response for Long Island manufacturers who need parts fast. Simple cuts on common materials often turn around within days.
Complex geometries or thicker materials take longer, but we’re transparent about timing from the start. When you send your design file, we’ll give you a realistic timeline based on actual shop capacity, not an optimistic guess that leaves you waiting.
Rush jobs happen. If your production line is down or you’re facing a deadline that can’t move, talk to us. We’ve accommodated tight timelines for Coram-area manufacturers before, and we’ll tell you honestly whether we can meet your date or not.
Cost depends on material type, thickness, cutting time, and complexity. Waterjet cutting metal isn’t always the cheapest option per linear inch, but it often costs less overall when you factor in the complete process.
You’re eliminating secondary operations like deburring, grinding, or heat treatment to fix distortion. You’re reducing material waste because the narrow kerf width and precision nesting maximize yield from each sheet. You’re avoiding the cost of scrapped parts that didn’t meet tolerance after traditional cutting methods introduced heat stress.
For prototypes and short runs, waterjet is especially cost-effective because there’s no expensive tooling required. You send us a CAD file and we cut parts. For production runs, the lack of tool wear and consistent accuracy means predictable costs without degradation in quality as the job progresses.
Yes. We cut steel up to 6 inches thick, with softer materials like aluminum going even thicker when needed. Thickness isn’t a limiting factor the way it is with laser or plasma cutting, where power requirements and heat management create practical limits.
Complex shapes are where waterjet excels. Our 5-axis CNC metal waterjet cutting capability handles intricate interior cutouts, tight radius corners, beveled edges, and contoured surfaces. You can design parts with geometric complexity that would require multiple setups or specialized tooling with conventional machining.
If your design includes undercuts, tapers, or three-dimensional contours, waterjet can often produce the part in a single setup. That reduces handling, improves accuracy by eliminating repositioning errors, and speeds up your overall production timeline. Bring us your most complex design and we’ll show you what’s possible.
