You’re not dealing with warped edges or heat-affected zones that compromise your material. Waterjet cutting metal in Lindenhurst, NY means the structure of your steel, aluminum, brass, or titanium stays intact because there’s no thermal stress involved.
The cut you see is the cut you get. Sharp corners, complex shapes, holes with tight inner radii—all done in one pass without secondary finishing in most cases.
That matters when you’re working on tight deadlines or can’t afford to scrap expensive material. The kerf is narrow, waste is minimal, and you’re not burning through budget on rework or additional machining. Whether you need a single prototype or a production run, the process scales without sacrificing accuracy.
We work with metal fabricators, contractors, designers, and manufacturers across Lindenhurst, NY and the surrounding Long Island area. We’ve built our reputation on delivering precision custom metal waterjet cutting without the runaround.
Lindenhurst has a strong manufacturing presence—47 metal fabrication jobs in North Lindenhurst alone tells you there’s real demand here. That also means you’ve got options, and shops that waste your time don’t last long.
We handle material takeoffs from your drawings, reproduce parts using SolidWorks, and nest projects efficiently to reduce your material costs. Our ISO 9001:2015 certification and 100% traceable inventory mean you’re getting consistent quality, not guesswork.
You send us your drawings or CAD files. We review them, optimize the design for CNC metal waterjet cutting in Lindenhurst, NY, and confirm material specs and tolerances with you upfront.
Once approved, we program the cut path and nest your parts on the plate to maximize material usage. The waterjet uses a high-pressure stream mixed with abrasive garnet to cut through your metal—no heat, no mechanical stress, no tool changes.
Setup is fast because we’re only qualifying one tool. That’s why turnaround stays quick even on custom jobs. After cutting, we inspect dimensions and edges to ensure everything meets your specs. If you need additional services like beveling or secondary machining, we coordinate that too. You get parts that fit your timeline and your standards.

We cut steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, titanium, and other metals up to 8 inches thick where tolerance isn’t critical, and up to 3 inches thick when you need tighter specs. Our waterjet metal cutting shop in Lindenhurst, NY handles plates up to 6 feet by 12 feet.
You’re getting accuracy within ±0.005 inches on jobs that require it. The process produces smooth edges and tight corners without burrs or heat distortion, often eliminating the need for secondary finishing.
Long Island’s manufacturing sector is competitive, and shops here expect fast turnaround without sacrificing quality. We understand that because we work with local contractors, fabricators, and custom manufacturers who can’t afford delays. Our process is environmentally friendly—no hazardous fumes, no toxic waste—which matters if you’re working in regulated industries or just want cleaner operations. We also provide material consultation, so if you’re unsure whether waterjet is the right fit for your project, we’ll tell you straight.
We cut steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, titanium, and other metals commonly used in fabrication and manufacturing. The waterjet process works on virtually any metal because it’s a cold-cutting method—there’s no heat that could damage or alter the material properties.
Thickness ranges from thin gauge sheet metal up to 8 inches thick, depending on your tolerance requirements. For precision work where you need tight tolerances, we typically cut up to 3 inches thick. Beyond that, we can still cut thicker material, but the tolerance opens up.
If you’re working with exotic alloys or aren’t sure whether your material is a good fit, bring us the specs. We’ll tell you what’s realistic and whether waterjet cutting metal in Lindenhurst, NY is the right process for your job.
Waterjet cutting delivers accuracy within ±0.005 inches when needed, which is tighter than most plasma cutting and comparable to laser on thinner materials. The difference is that waterjet doesn’t create a heat-affected zone, so there’s no warping, no hardened edges, and no thermal distortion.
Laser works well on thinner metals but struggles with thicker materials and reflective metals like aluminum or copper. Plasma is fast but rougher, and the heat can change your material’s properties. Waterjet handles thick and thin materials without those compromises.
If your project requires sharp internal corners, complex curves, or intricate shapes, waterjet gives you more flexibility. The narrow kerf also means less material waste, which adds up on expensive metals. You’re getting precision without the trade-offs that come with thermal cutting methods.
Turnaround depends on material thickness, complexity, and how many parts you need. Simple cuts on thinner material can often be completed within a few days. More complex jobs with thicker metals or tight tolerances take longer because the cutting speed slows down to maintain edge quality.
The advantage with our CNC metal waterjet cutting in Lindenhurst, NY is that setup is fast—we’re not changing tools or recalibrating between cuts. That keeps your project moving even when the geometry is complicated.
If you’re on a tight deadline, let us know upfront. We’ll give you a realistic timeline based on your specs and current workload. We’d rather be honest about timing than overpromise and leave you waiting. Rush jobs are possible depending on the scope, but we’ll discuss that during quoting so there are no surprises.
In most cases, waterjet cutting produces a smooth edge that doesn’t require secondary finishing. The abrasive stream creates a clean cut, and because there’s no heat, you don’t get the hardened edge or slag that comes with plasma or laser cutting.
The edge quality depends on cutting speed. If you need a smoother finish, we slow down the cut, which takes more time but delivers a higher-quality edge. For parts where the cut edge isn’t visible or critical, we can run faster and keep costs down.
Burrs are minimal compared to other cutting methods, but if your application requires a completely deburred edge or additional machining, we can coordinate that. The key is that waterjet gives you a finished surface in one pass for most jobs, which saves you time and money compared to processes that require grinding or additional cleanup.
Waterjet cutting typically costs more per hour than plasma or oxy-fuel cutting due to abrasive consumption and equipment wear. Operating costs run between $15 and $30 per hour depending on material and cutting speed. But that’s not the full picture.
You’re saving money on material waste because the kerf is narrow and we nest parts efficiently. You’re also avoiding secondary operations in many cases—no grinding, no deburring, no fixing warped edges. When you factor in scrap reduction and fewer rejected parts, the total cost often comes out competitive, especially on complex cuts or expensive metals.
Laser cutting can be faster on thin materials, but it struggles with thicker stock and reflective metals. If your project involves stainless steel, aluminum, brass, or anything over an inch thick, waterjet is often the more cost-effective choice. We’ll walk you through the numbers based on your specific job so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Yes. We work with CAD files, PDFs, DXF, DWG, and most standard formats. If you’ve got a SolidWorks file, we can import it directly. If you’re working from hand drawings or sketches, we can recreate the part digitally and send it back for approval before cutting.
We also handle material takeoffs, so if you need help determining how much material you’ll need or how to nest parts efficiently, we’ll do that legwork. Our goal is to optimize your design for the waterjet process—minimizing piercings, reducing interior cuts where possible, and arranging parts to reduce waste.
If your design has features that could affect cut quality or cost, we’ll flag them upfront. Sometimes a small tweak to a corner radius or hole placement can save you time and money without compromising the function of your part. That’s part of the consultation process, and it’s included.
