Your project doesn’t have room for warped edges or parts that need rework. Metal waterjet cutting in Oyster Bay, NY gives you tolerances as tight as +/- 0.005 inches without introducing heat into the material. That means no distortion, no hardened edges, and no compromised structural integrity.
You can cut stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, brass, or virtually any metal alloy without changing your setup or worrying about thermal damage. Complex shapes, tight inside corners, and intricate patterns all come out clean the first time.
And because the kerf is so narrow, you’re not throwing away material. Parts nest tighter, scrap drops, and your cost per piece goes down. If you’re running production or working on a one-off prototype, that efficiency matters.
We’ve been serving manufacturers, fabricators, architects, and contractors across Long Island and the tri-state area with precision cutting services that meet real-world demands. We’ve worked with everyone from aerospace suppliers to custom knife makers, and the common thread is simple: tight tolerances and fast turnarounds.
Oyster Bay sits in the heart of a region with deep manufacturing roots. You’re surrounded by metal shops, marine fabricators, and industrial suppliers who need reliable cutting services without the overhead of owning their own equipment. That’s where we come in.
We’re not trying to be everything to everyone. We focus on waterjet cutting metal because it’s what we do well, and it’s what gets you the results your project requires.
You send us your design file—DXF, DWG, or even a sketch if that’s what you’re working from. We review it, confirm material specs, and program the CNC waterjet system to match your tolerances and edge requirements.
The cutting head uses high-pressure water mixed with abrasive garnet to slice through your material. There’s no blade dulling, no heat buildup, and no secondary finishing in most cases. The stream is only about as wide as a human hair, so you get clean lines and minimal waste.
Once cutting is complete, we inspect dimensions, deburr edges if needed, and prep your parts for pickup or delivery. If you’re stacking multiple sheets or running repeat orders, we optimize the nesting to keep your costs down and your lead times short.
Most jobs turn around in days, not weeks. And because we’re local to Oyster Bay, NY, you’re not waiting on cross-country shipping or dealing with time zone delays when you have a question.

You get precision waterjet cutting metal with CNC control, material consultation if you’re not sure what alloy or thickness works best, and design support to make sure your file translates into a part that actually functions the way you need it to.
We handle materials up to 10 inches thick, and we’re set up for both prototype and production runs. Whether you’re cutting one piece or a hundred, the process stays consistent and the quality doesn’t slip.
Oyster Bay’s proximity to marine industries, architectural metalwork firms, and advanced manufacturing means you’re often working with corrosion-resistant alloys, exotic metals, or materials that can’t handle the heat from laser or plasma cutting. Waterjet handles all of it without changing the material properties or creating a heat-affected zone that weakens your part.
And because we’re not generating hazardous fumes or large amounts of waste, the process is cleaner and safer for everyone involved. The water gets recycled, the garnet can be filtered and reused, and you’re not left with a pile of slag or burnt edges to clean up.
We cut virtually any metal you’re working with. Stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, brass, copper, Inconel, tool steel—if it’s a metal alloy, waterjet cutting handles it without issue.
The reason is simple: there’s no heat involved. Laser and plasma cutting rely on melting the material, which limits what you can process and how thick you can go. Waterjet uses high-pressure water and abrasive to erode through the material, so there’s no melting, no warping, and no change to the metal’s properties.
That makes it ideal for heat-sensitive materials, thick plates, or anything where you need to maintain the integrity of the base material. If you’re not sure whether your material is a good fit, just ask. We’ll walk you through it.
Waterjet cutting delivers tolerances as tight as +/- 0.005 inches, which puts it right in line with laser cutting for most applications. The difference is that you’re getting that accuracy without heat distortion or a heat-affected zone.
Laser cutting is fast and works great for thinner materials, but once you get into thicker stock or materials that warp easily, waterjet becomes the better option. You’re also able to cut materials that reflect laser light, like copper or brass, without any issues.
If your project requires sharp inside corners, complex curves, or parts that need to fit together with minimal gap, CNC metal waterjet cutting in Oyster Bay, NY gives you the precision you’re looking for without the thermal side effects.
We can cut metal up to 10 inches thick, depending on the material and the tolerances you need. Most jobs fall somewhere between 1/8 inch and 2 inches, but the capability is there if your project calls for it.
Thicker materials take longer to cut because the abrasive stream has to erode through more material, but the quality stays consistent. You’re not dealing with taper or edge rollover like you would with other cutting methods on thick stock.
If you’re working with plate steel, thick aluminum, or heavy-duty structural components, waterjet cutting metal gives you a clean edge without the need for secondary machining or grinding. That saves time and keeps your costs predictable.
Most jobs turn around in 3 to 5 business days, depending on material availability, complexity, and how many parts you’re ordering. Rush jobs can often be accommodated if you’re up against a deadline.
The actual cutting time depends on material thickness, the intricacy of the design, and how many parts you’re nesting on a single sheet. Simple shapes in thin material cut fast. Complex patterns in thick plate take longer, but you’re still looking at hours, not days, for the cutting itself.
Because we’re local to Oyster Bay, NY, you’re not adding extra days for shipping or dealing with delays from out-of-state shops. You can often pick up your parts the same week you place the order, and if something needs adjustment, we’re close enough to make it happen without starting over from scratch.
Waterjet cutting produces a smooth edge with minimal burr in most cases. Depending on the material and thickness, you might see a slight burr on the bottom edge, but it’s usually minor and easy to remove if needed.
The top edge is almost always clean because that’s where the abrasive stream enters the material with full force. As the stream exits, it can leave a small amount of roughness, but it’s nothing like the slag or dross you’d get from plasma cutting.
If your application requires a completely deburred edge, we can handle that as part of the finishing process. But in many cases, parts come off the table ready to use without any additional work. That’s one of the reasons custom metal waterjet cutting is so efficient—you’re not adding extra steps to get a usable part.
Yes. The cutting stream is roughly 0.030 inches wide, which means you can achieve fine details, tight inside radii, and complex geometries that would be difficult or impossible with other methods.
If you’re cutting logos, decorative panels, precision brackets, or parts with small holes and slots, waterjet handles it without putting stress on the material. There’s no tool deflection, no chatter, and no risk of cracking thin sections because there’s no mechanical force involved.
That makes metal waterjet cutting in Oyster Bay, NY a solid choice for architectural metalwork, custom signage, aerospace components, or any application where detail and accuracy matter as much as the overall cut quality. You’re not limited by tool size or geometry—the water goes where the program tells it to go.
