You need parts that fit. Not almost-fit parts that need rework, not warped edges from heat, not another week of back-and-forth with a shop that doesn’t get it.
Waterjet cutting metal in Long Beach, NY means your stainless steel, aluminum, or titanium comes out with smooth edges and zero distortion. No heat-affected zones. No hardened areas that wreck your tolerances. No buffing, grinding, or secondary operations eating into your schedule.
Whether you’re running machine parts that need to drop right in or cutting temperature-sensitive metals that can’t take the abuse from laser or plasma, you get precision without compromise. Fast setup means we’re cutting your part in minutes, not days. And if your next job is a completely different material or thickness, we switch over in two minutes flat.
That’s how you stay on schedule when everyone else is scrambling.
We serve the Long Beach manufacturing community with CNC metal waterjet cutting services that don’t waste your time or material. We know what it’s like when schedules slip and scrap rates climb because your cutting process can’t keep up.
Long Beach has a strong manufacturing base with median earnings around $96,688 in the sector. You’re competing with shops across the tri-state area, which means you can’t afford delays or quality issues that kill your reputation.
We’ve built our operation around precision, speed, and straight answers. You send us your specs, we cut your parts to tolerance, and you get back to building what you’re known for.
You send us your design specs and material requirements. We program the CNC waterjet system to your exact tolerances—down to .001 inches if that’s what the job calls for.
The cutting head uses high-pressure water mixed with abrasive garnet to slice through your metal. No torches, no plasma arcs, no lasers generating heat. Just cold cutting that leaves your material properties untouched. We can process plates up to 8 inches thick, handling everything from thin-gauge stainless to heavy titanium plate.
Complex shapes, tight inside corners, intricate patterns—it’s all the same to the waterjet. The CNC system follows your design precisely while the abrasive stream does the work. What you get back are parts with clean edges, no burrs, and no thermal distortion.
Setup takes minutes. If you need one prototype part or a short production run, we’re not charging you for hours of tooling and programming. We cut your job, then switch to the next material without missing a beat.
Ready to get started?
You get parts cut from hardened tool steel, aluminum, titanium, and exotic metals that other processes struggle with. Thickness capacity runs up to 8 inches with precision tolerances of +/- .001 depending on material and thickness.
The process is clean—no hazardous gases, no oils, no fumes. Your parts come out ready to use, with edges smooth enough that secondary finishing becomes optional, not mandatory. That alone saves you time and labor costs that add up fast when you’re running multiple jobs.
In Long Beach, where material costs have jumped as much as 50% on select stainless and aluminum imports, reducing scrap matters. Waterjet cutting gives you tight nesting and minimal kerf width, so you’re using more of each sheet and throwing away less. When a 4×8 sheet of stainless costs what it does now, every square inch counts.
Turnaround stays fast because setup is quick. You’re not waiting days for custom tooling or fixturing. We program, we cut, you get your parts. If your specs change mid-project, we adjust without the drama.
We cut all common metals and most exotic alloys. Stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, hardened tool steel, Inconel, Hastelloy, copper, brass—if it’s metal, waterjet handles it.
The advantage shows up most with materials that are difficult to machine or sensitive to heat. Titanium, for example, work-hardens under traditional cutting methods and generates heat that can compromise the material. Waterjet stays cold, so your titanium keeps its properties intact.
Hardened tool steels that would destroy conventional cutting tools go through the waterjet without issue. You’re not limited by material hardness or thickness, which means you can spec the right material for the job instead of picking something easier to cut but less ideal for performance.
Tolerances run as tight as +/- .001 inches depending on material type, thickness, and part geometry. For most applications, you’re looking at +/- .005 to +/- .010, which is more than sufficient for machine parts that need to fit without force.
The CNC system controls the cutting head path with extreme accuracy. There’s no tool deflection like you’d see with end mills, no heat warping like you get with plasma or laser. The abrasive waterjet stream stays consistent, so your parts come out dimensionally stable.
If you’re cutting components that mate with other parts—brackets, mounting plates, flanges, housings—waterjet gives you the repeatability to make sure part one matches part one hundred. That consistency matters when you’re trying to maintain quality across a production run without constant adjustments.
You’re not paying for tooling, die setup, or lengthy programming. The waterjet cuts based on your CAD file with minimal prep time. That means lower setup costs, especially for short runs or one-off custom parts.
Material waste drops because the cutting kerf is narrow and nesting software maximizes sheet usage. When you’re working with expensive metals, getting more parts per sheet directly impacts your cost per piece. Less scrap means lower material spend.
Secondary operations like deburring, grinding, or heat treatment to fix distortion add labor and time. Waterjet parts often skip those steps entirely because the edges come out clean and the material stays dimensionally stable. Fewer operations mean lower total cost, even if the cutting rate itself isn’t the cheapest option upfront.
Setup takes minutes, not hours or days. Once we have your design file and material specs, we’re programming and cutting quickly. For straightforward jobs, you’re looking at same-day or next-day turnaround depending on our queue and your material availability.
Complex parts with intricate geometries take longer to cut, but there’s no waiting for custom tooling to be built or fixtures to be machined. The waterjet doesn’t care if your part has 50 holes or 500—it just follows the programmed path.
If you need a prototype part to test fit before committing to a full run, we can cut one piece, get it to you for approval, then run the rest once you’ve confirmed everything fits. That flexibility keeps your project moving instead of locking you into a large batch before you know if the design works.
We process plates up to 8 inches thick. Structural steel, thick aluminum plate, heavy stainless—waterjet handles it without the limitations you’d hit with plasma or laser cutting.
Thicker materials take longer to cut because the abrasive stream needs more time to penetrate, but there’s no upper hardness limit and no risk of heat distortion warping your plate. If you’re cutting structural beams, mounting brackets, or heavy-duty components that need to stay flat and true, waterjet keeps everything dimensionally stable.
Battery housings, motor cores, and structural components in automotive or aerospace applications benefit from waterjet’s cold-cut attribute. You avoid heat-affected zones that create hard spots or change the metal’s properties. That’s critical when the part needs to maintain specific strength or flexibility characteristics after cutting.
Waterjet excels at intricate shapes, tight radius corners, and complex geometries that would be expensive or impossible with other methods. The cutting stream is narrow, so inside corners and detailed features come out clean without requiring multiple setups or special tooling.
If your design has curves, angles, cutouts, slots, or patterns, the CNC system follows your CAD file precisely. You’re not limited to straight cuts or simple shapes. Gears, flanges with bolt patterns, decorative panels, intricate brackets—it’s all handled in one pass.
This makes waterjet extremely efficient for parts that would normally require multiple operations. Instead of drilling holes, then milling slots, then cutting the perimeter, the waterjet does it all in sequence without changing tools or repositioning the workpiece. Fewer setups mean fewer chances for error and faster completion from start to finish.
