You’re not looking for someone to “try their best.” You need cuts that hold tolerances within +/-0.005″, edges that don’t need secondary finishing, and materials that aren’t warped from heat.
That’s what waterjet cutting delivers. No burn marks. No heat-affected zones that compromise material integrity. No rough edges that slow down your assembly or force you into extra machining.
Whether you’re working with 1/8″ acrylic for signage or 12″ steel plate for structural components, the process stays cold. That means your material properties stay intact, your dimensions stay accurate, and your timeline stays on track. You send us a file, we cut it clean, and you move forward without surprises.
We operate out of West Islip, just minutes from Medford, with four Flow waterjet systems ranging from 40,000 to 87,000 psi. We’ve cut for architects, metal fabricators, sign shops, and manufacturers across Long Island—including companies like Metfab Metals, American Aluminum, and Apparatus Studio.
We’re ISO9001 and AS9100D certified, ITAR compliant, and equipped to handle everything from one-off prototypes to production runs. If you’re in Medford and need precision cutting without the lead time of a distant shop, we’re set up to respond quickly.
You’re not dealing with a middleman or a sales team that doesn’t understand the work. You’re talking directly to the people running the machines.
Start by sending us your CAD file—DXF, DWG, or AI formats work. If you don’t have a file yet, we can help you design it. We’ll review your specs, confirm material type and thickness, and provide a quote based on cut time and complexity.
Once approved, we load your file into our CNC waterjet system and program the toolpath. The cutting head moves across your material at high pressure, using a stream of water mixed with garnet abrasive to slice through without generating heat. For thicker materials or tighter tolerances, we adjust pressure and feed rate to maintain edge quality.
After cutting, we inspect dimensions and surface finish. If you need additional services like deburring or material delivery, we coordinate that too. Most jobs turn around within a few days, depending on material availability and queue. You get parts that match your file, ready to install or assemble.

Waterjet cutting handles metals like steel, stainless, aluminum, titanium, and copper alloys. It also cuts stone, granite, marble, glass, ceramics, rubber, foam, plastics, and composites—basically anything that doesn’t compress under the stream.
Our table sizes go up to 7′ x 13′, and we can cut materials over 12″ thick. That gives you flexibility for large panels, complex nesting layouts, or heavy plate work that other cutting methods can’t touch. Edge finish is smooth enough that many parts go straight to assembly without grinding or sanding.
In Medford, where manufacturing and fabrication shops are pushing tighter deadlines, that matters. You’re not waiting on secondary operations. You’re not dealing with warped parts from laser heat or rough plasma edges. The part comes off our table ready to use, and you stay on schedule without the extra cost of cleanup work.
We cut virtually any material that doesn’t absorb water or fall apart under pressure. Metals are the most common—steel, stainless, aluminum, brass, copper, titanium, Inconel. We also handle stone like granite and marble, glass, ceramics, composites like carbon fiber, plastics including acrylic and polycarbonate, rubber, foam, and gasket materials.
The process doesn’t generate heat, so there’s no risk of melting, warping, or changing the material’s properties. That’s critical for heat-sensitive materials like certain plastics or tempered metals where a laser or plasma cutter would cause distortion or a heat-affected zone.
If you’re unsure whether your material works with waterjet, just ask. We’ve cut everything from 1/16″ acrylic for signage to 14″ steel plate for structural components, and we can tell you right away if it’s a fit.
Waterjet cutting holds tolerances within +/-0.005″ on most materials, which puts it in the same accuracy range as laser cutting—and significantly better than plasma. The difference is that waterjet achieves that precision without heat, so you don’t get the edge distortion or kerf variation that comes with thermal cutting methods.
Laser cutting works well for thinner metals, but once you get past about 1″ thick, the quality drops and the heat-affected zone becomes a problem. Plasma is faster for rough cuts, but the edge is rough and often requires secondary grinding. Waterjet gives you a clean, square edge with minimal kerf and no thermal stress, even on thick plate.
For parts that need to fit together tightly—like architectural panels, machine components, or custom brackets—that edge quality saves you time and rework. You’re not filing down burn marks or dealing with parts that don’t align because the heat warped them during cutting.
Most jobs turn around in 3-5 business days from file approval, depending on material availability and our current queue. If you have material in stock that we can work with, or if it’s a standard metal we keep on hand, that speeds things up.
Rush jobs are possible when the schedule allows. If you’re up against a hard deadline, let us know upfront and we’ll tell you honestly whether we can hit it. We’re not going to promise a turnaround we can’t deliver just to win the job.
Larger production runs or jobs requiring special materials may take longer, but we’ll give you a realistic timeline during quoting. Being local to Medford helps—you’re not waiting on cross-country shipping, and if there’s a question about your file or specs, we can address it the same day instead of losing time to email lag.
We can do either. If you have material already and want to send it over, that works—just make sure it’s flat, clean, and within our table size limits. We’ll confirm dimensions before cutting to avoid any surprises.
If you need us to source the material, we can handle that too. We work with local suppliers across Long Island and can usually get common metals and sheet goods within a few days. Specialty materials or thicker plate might take longer depending on availability, but we’ll let you know the lead time upfront.
Sourcing through us also means the material gets delivered directly to our shop, so there’s no coordination hassle on your end. You send the file, we handle the rest, and you pick up finished parts. For Medford-based contractors and fabricators juggling multiple projects, that’s one less thing to manage.
Yes, but there are some limitations based on the cutting stream diameter. Our waterjet nozzle creates a kerf around 0.030″ to 0.040″ wide, so any inside corner will have a small radius rather than a perfectly sharp 90-degree angle. For most applications, that’s not an issue, but if your design requires truly sharp internal corners, you’d need a secondary process like EDM.
Intricate curves, complex shapes, and fine details are no problem. We’ve cut custom logos, decorative metalwork, architectural inlays, and precision machine parts with features down to a few millimeters. The CNC control allows us to follow your CAD file exactly, so if you can draw it, we can cut it.
For sign shops and designers in Medford working on detailed projects, waterjet offers more design freedom than punch presses or routers, and it does it without tool wear or bit changes. You get consistent quality across the entire cut, whether it’s the first part or the hundredth.
Waterjet cutting costs more per hour than plasma, but less than laser for thick materials—and it often saves you money overall because you skip secondary finishing. Pricing depends on material type, thickness, cut length, and complexity. Thicker materials and harder substances take longer to cut, which increases cost.
For a straightforward comparison: cutting 1/2″ steel plate with waterjet might cost more upfront than plasma, but you won’t spend extra time grinding down rough edges or dealing with heat distortion. The part comes off our table ready to weld or assemble, which speeds up your project and reduces labor costs on your end.
We provide transparent quotes based on your file and material specs, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. For Medford manufacturers and contractors managing budgets, that predictability matters. You’re not getting surprise charges for rework or secondary operations that should’ve been included from the start.
