Hear from Our Customers
You’re not looking for another supplier who promises precision but delivers rework. You need parts that fit, edges that don’t need grinding, and materials that keep their properties intact.
That’s what waterjet cutting metal in New Cassel, NY gives you. No heat-affected zones means no warping on thin materials. No hardened edges means your parts stay workable. No secondary operations means your timeline stays on track.
Whether you’re cutting stainless steel brackets, aluminum panels, or titanium components, the process handles materials up to 6 inches thick with tolerances down to ±0.003 inches. Your parts come off the table ready for assembly, not ready for more machining. That’s fewer steps between raw material and finished product, which means lower costs and faster delivery for your operation.
We serve manufacturers, fabricators, and contractors throughout New Cassel, NY and the surrounding Long Island area. We’re not the biggest shop, and we’re not trying to be—we focus on precision work for clients who need it done right.
New Cassel’s Industrial Park is home to STEM businesses, fabricators, and product designers who can’t afford to work with unreliable suppliers. We get that. Our CNC metal waterjet cutting in New Cassel, NY handles everything from one-off prototypes to production runs, and we’ve built our reputation on consistent quality and straightforward communication.
You’ll work directly with people who understand your specs, not a call center. That matters when tolerances are tight and deadlines are real.
You send us your drawings or CAD files. We review them, flag any potential issues with tolerances or material choice, and give you a clear quote. No surprises, no vague timelines.
Once you approve, we program the cut path into our CNC system. The waterjet uses a high-pressure stream mixed with abrasive garnet to cut through your material. It’s a cold process, so there’s no heat buildup, no hardened edges, and no material distortion—even on thin gauge metals.
After cutting, we inspect dimensions and edges. If your specs call for additional finishing or fabrication, we handle that too. You get parts that meet your drawings, packaged and ready to ship or pick up. Most projects turn around within days, not weeks, because we’re not juggling hundreds of jobs at once.

Every custom metal waterjet cutting project in New Cassel, NY includes material consultation before we start. If you’re not sure whether 304 or 316 stainless is right for your application, or if aluminum thickness needs adjustment for your load requirements, we’ll tell you. That’s part of the service.
You also get burr-free edges on most cuts, which eliminates deburring time on your end. Complex geometries, tight nesting to reduce material waste, and the ability to cut virtually any metal—steel, aluminum, brass, copper, titanium, even exotic alloys—all from the same machine. No tool changes, no setup fees for different materials.
New Cassel’s manufacturing sector increasingly demands environmentally responsible processes. Waterjet cutting produces no hazardous fumes, no thermal waste, and the water gets recycled. It’s a cleaner process than plasma or laser, and it meets compliance standards for shops that need documented environmental practices. You’re not just getting precision—you’re getting a process that aligns with modern manufacturing standards.
We cut steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, titanium, and specialty alloys. The process works on virtually any metal because it’s not relying on heat or hardness—it’s purely mechanical erosion from high-pressure water and abrasive.
If you’re working with composites, laminates, or metal bonded to other materials, waterjet handles those too without delamination. Thickness ranges from thin foil up to 6 inches, though cutting speed slows as thickness increases. Most industrial projects fall in the 1/4-inch to 2-inch range, where we can hold tight tolerances and maintain good edge quality.
Material hardness doesn’t matter the way it does with other cutting methods. We’ve cut hardened tool steel and soft aluminum back-to-back without changing anything except the cut speed. That flexibility means you’re not limited by what your material is—you’re limited by what you need it to become.
Waterjet cutting metal in New Cassel, NY holds tolerances down to ±0.003 inches on most materials, which is tighter than plasma and comparable to laser. The difference is that waterjet doesn’t create a heat-affected zone, so you don’t get edge hardening or micro-warping that throws off your dimensions after the part cools.
Laser is fast and works well for thinner materials, but it struggles with thicker metals and reflective materials like aluminum or copper. Plasma is affordable but rough—you’ll spend time grinding edges and dealing with dross. Waterjet gives you clean edges without secondary work, and it cuts thick materials that would bog down a laser.
For parts that need to fit precisely in assemblies, or materials that can’t tolerate heat, waterjet is the more reliable choice. You’re not guessing whether the part will warp after cutting—it won’t.
Most projects turn around in 3-5 business days from approved drawings. Rush jobs can often be completed in 24-48 hours depending on material availability and machine schedule. We’re not running a high-volume production factory, so we have flexibility that larger shops don’t.
Turnaround depends on material thickness, complexity of the cut, and whether you need additional services like drilling, countersinking, or bending. Simple cuts on stock materials move faster than complex geometries on specialty alloys we need to source. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront, not an optimistic guess that slips later.
If you’re prototyping and need multiple iterations quickly, we can usually accommodate same-week revisions. For production runs, we’ll work with your schedule to deliver in batches or all at once, whatever keeps your operation moving.
Most waterjet cuts come off the table with smooth, burr-free edges that don’t require additional finishing. The edge quality depends on material type, thickness, and cutting speed, but for typical industrial applications, parts are ready to use as-cut.
Thicker materials or faster cutting speeds can produce a slightly rougher edge on the bottom side of the cut, but it’s still cleaner than plasma or torch cutting. If your application requires a specific edge finish—like a polished edge for aesthetic reasons or a chamfered edge for assembly—we can handle that as an additional step.
For most fabrication and manufacturing work, the as-cut edge is acceptable. You’re not spending labor hours deburring or grinding, which is where waterjet saves you time and cost compared to thermal cutting methods. If you’re unsure whether your application needs additional finishing, send us your specs and we’ll tell you honestly what’s required.
Waterjet cutting typically costs between $30-$35 per hour of machine time, but that’s not how we quote projects. You care about the cost per part, not the hourly rate. Pricing depends on material type, thickness, cut complexity, and total cutting time.
A simple bracket cut from 1/4-inch aluminum might cost $15-$25. A complex part with intricate geometry cut from 1-inch stainless could run $100-$200. We provide detailed quotes before starting work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. No hidden fees, no surprise charges for setup or programming.
Material waste also affects your total cost. Waterjet’s thin kerf allows tight nesting, which means we can fit more parts on a single sheet and reduce your material expense. For production runs, that efficiency adds up quickly. If you’re comparing quotes, make sure you’re looking at total cost per part, not just the cutting rate—cheaper hourly rates often mean more waste and longer lead times.
Yes. Waterjet works for single prototypes and multi-hundred piece production runs because there’s no expensive tooling required. You’re not paying for dies, molds, or custom fixtures—just programming and cutting time.
For prototypes, that means you can test designs and make revisions without major cost penalties. Change a dimension, add a hole, adjust a radius—we reprogram and cut the next version. For production runs, the same flexibility means we can start cutting immediately without weeks of tooling lead time.
CNC metal waterjet cutting in New Cassel, NY is particularly useful for low-to-medium volume production where traditional stamping or punching doesn’t make economic sense. You get the precision of a machined part without the setup costs. And if your design changes mid-production, we adjust the program and keep moving—no scrapped tooling, no lengthy changeovers.
