Your parts come off the table with smooth, burr-free edges. No burn marks. No warping. No heat-affected zones that compromise material integrity.
That means you skip the deburring, the grinding, the secondary finishing that eats into your timeline and budget. The kerf is narrow—0.030″ to 0.040″—so you’re not throwing away material with every cut.
Tolerances hit +/- 0.005″ when it matters. Thickness up to 6 inches. Steel, aluminum, titanium, stainless—whatever you’re working with, waterjet handles it without changing the material properties. You get parts that fit, function, and move to the next stage of production without delay.
We serve manufacturers, fabricators, and contractors throughout North Babylon, NY and the surrounding Long Island region. We’re not new to this.
Our shop runs advanced CNC waterjet equipment designed for precision work. We’ve built our reputation on dependable turnaround times and parts that meet spec the first time. North Babylon’s manufacturing corridor demands that level of consistency, and we deliver it daily.
You’re working with a team that understands Long Island’s industrial landscape—the pace, the standards, the expectations. We’ve cut parts for automotive shops, aerospace suppliers, architectural firms, and custom fabricators who can’t afford mistakes.
You send us your design file—DXF, DWG, or even a sketch if that’s what you have. Our team reviews it for manufacturability and optimizes the nesting to minimize material waste.
We program the CNC waterjet system to your exact specifications. The cutting head uses ultra-high-pressure water mixed with abrasive garnet to slice through your material with accuracy down to a tenth of a millimeter.
No heat means no distortion. The water stream stays cold, so your material’s properties don’t change. Complex shapes, tight radiuses, angled cuts—the 5-axis capability handles it all without tool changes or repositioning. Once cutting finishes, parts are cleaned and inspected before they leave our shop. You get what you ordered, when you need it.
Ready to get started?
You get design support from the start. If your CAD file needs adjustment for optimal cutting, we’ll catch it before material gets loaded. That saves you time and money.
Material sourcing is available if you need it, though many North Babylon clients prefer to supply their own stock. Either way works. We cut steel plate, aluminum sheet, stainless steel, titanium, and hardened tool steel that other methods struggle with.
Edge quality comes standard—that ultra-fine finish that looks sandblasted. Tight nesting means you’re maximizing every sheet. For Long Island manufacturers watching margins, that material efficiency adds up fast. Prototype runs and production volumes both get the same attention to detail. Rush jobs get handled when your timeline demands it, because we know how North Babylon’s industrial pace works.
We cut virtually any metal you’re working with. Steel plate, aluminum sheet, stainless steel, titanium, brass, copper, and hardened tool steel all run through our waterjet system without issue.
The process doesn’t rely on heat, so material hardness isn’t a limiting factor the way it is with plasma or laser cutting. If you’re working with exotic alloys or materials that are difficult to machine, waterjet cutting metal handles them cleanly.
Thickness capacity goes up to 6 inches, though cutting speed varies with material type and thickness. Thinner materials cut faster, but we maintain the same edge quality and precision regardless of gauge.
Waterjet doesn’t generate heat, which is the biggest difference. Laser and plasma both create heat-affected zones that can warp thin material, change hardness, or require secondary processing to remove discoloration and scale.
With waterjet, your material comes off the table at room temperature with no thermal distortion. That matters when you’re working with tight tolerances or materials that are sensitive to heat treatment.
Laser cutting is fast for thin materials but struggles with thicker stock and reflective metals like aluminum. Plasma is cost-effective for steel but lacks the precision you get with CNC metal waterjet cutting in North Babylon. Waterjet gives you the edge quality of laser with the thickness capacity of plasma, minus the heat issues of both.
Standard tolerance is +/- 0.005″ for most applications. That’s tight enough for parts that need to fit together without adjustment or secondary machining.
Cutting accuracy hits +/- 0.1 mm on the machine itself. Real-world tolerance depends on material type, thickness, and part geometry, but we’re consistently within a few thousandths on production runs.
If your application requires tighter specs, we’ll discuss it upfront. Some geometries and materials hold tighter than others. The 5-axis capability helps maintain accuracy on angled cuts and complex shapes where traditional 2D cutting would require multiple setups.
Most parts go straight to assembly or the next production stage. The edge finish off our waterjet table is smooth enough that secondary deburring or grinding isn’t necessary for typical applications.
You’ll see a slightly striated texture—similar to fine sandblasting—but no sharp burrs, no slag, no heat scale. If your application requires a polished or machined edge, you can add that finishing step, but the waterjet edge itself is clean and consistent.
That’s a real time-saver compared to plasma cutting, which leaves heavy dross that needs grinding, or laser cutting, which can leave a heat-affected zone requiring removal. Custom metal waterjet cutting in North Babylon delivers parts ready to use.
Turnaround depends on material thickness, part complexity, and current shop schedule. Simple parts in thin material can often be completed within a few days. Thicker materials or intricate geometries take longer.
Cutting speed ranges from 65 to 200 mm per minute based on what you’re cutting. A quarter-inch aluminum plate cuts faster than 2-inch stainless steel. Complex nesting and tight radiuses slow the process compared to straight cuts and simple shapes.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline when you submit your design files. Rush service is available when your project demands it. Many North Babylon clients need fast turnaround to keep their production lines moving, and we’ve built our scheduling around that reality.
Yes. The setup process is the same whether you’re ordering one part or a hundred. CNC programming makes it practical to run small batches without the tooling costs you’d see with stamping or traditional machining.
For prototypes, you get production-quality parts that accurately represent how the final product will perform. That’s valuable when you’re testing fit, function, or design before committing to a full production run.
For production volumes, tight nesting and efficient programming keep per-part costs competitive. We handle both scenarios daily—designers testing concepts and manufacturers running repeat orders. The process scales to your needs without requiring different equipment or approaches.
