How we can serve you

Whether you are looking to mass-produce parts, or just try a part on for size we can help. We don't believe you should ever have to compromise quality due to high set up costs for minimum runs. From high tolerance mechanical parts to whimsical artistic creations we are ready.   

The list is long so let's keep it short, the only material we can not cut is tempered glass, and typically glass is cut 1st and tempered 2nd, so if you are trying to re-purpose that old shower door we can't do it. And yes the waterjet can cut glass.

Our working envelope is 6 feet by 12 feet with a maximum height of 7 inches. If you can get your material to our shop we can handle it. 

From concept to final project and everything in between, we have bending, rolling, welding, hydrographic dipping capabilities all in house.  About everything needed to see your vision become the finished product.

We can provide drawings or you can. If you can draw your idea on a napkin we can make it work, however, it is less expensive and quicker if you can provide some type of digital drawing and it is best to save that drawing as a .dxf file as this is what our system uses to convert to .ord file.

If you currently have a part I.E. a gasket, and you need a copy of it we do have the ability to digitize the part providing it fits on our digitizer which measures 48"X60".

What if the material I am trying to cut can not get wet?

Don't use a waterjet.

If I cut plywood won't the water ruin it?

Waterjets cut plywood of all thicknesses very fast, so fast that the water barely has a contact time with the wood. Some waterjets cut so fast they are used to cut diapers.

Is there a lot of secondary finishing to the surface after the cut?

Depending on your idea of finished, it will in most cases be as smooth or rough as before you cut it, that is to say, it will leave a factory edge. In some instances where secondary processes are necessary for the final product, we can run the machine at slower than needed to cut speed for better edge quality.  

How much does it cost to cut a part?

This is a common question we hear and one that is no easier to answer today as it was on opening day. Here are just a few parameters the system needs to know before generating a cost (width, length, height, material type, thickness, linear inches to name most but not all) but it is not really that expensive considering you don't need a different tool for each material. The best advice is to give us a call and tell us what you are looking to do.

Can I use another tool to get it done?

Yes, the waterjet is not the only machine that can cut materials, it is, however, the only tool for certain material types and when a heat signature must be avoided. Many machines use force or extreme heat to cut thus ruining the structural integrity of the material so you can find yourself in trouble before you start. An example of this is when cutting stainless steel, in this example, you have now traded a rust-free surface for a blued haze running in your part due to excessive heat signature.

What materials are good to cut with a waterjet?

Stone, Marble, Granite, Onyx, Quartz, Glass, Mirror, Fiberglass, Carbon Fiber, Composite, Rubber, Teflon, Wood, PVC, Brick, Fire Brick, Clay, Ceramic Tile, Polypropolene, Tool Epoxy, Travertine, Acrylic, Lexan, Plexiglass, Phenolic, Nylon, Limestone, Lead, Graphite, Break Pad, Cesar Stone, Magnesium, Concrete, Aluminum, Brass, Copper, Titanium, Bronze, Jade, Stainless Steel, Nickel, D2 Tool Steel, Polly Carbonate, Tungsten, Moly Steel, Hastelloy, Nitralloy, Aluminum Oxide, Hynes, Waspalloy, Fiber Board, Aerospace Honeycomb.

How hard is it to get in touch with someone there?

We are located in the heart of Lutz, FL;  we are a low volume high-quality fabrication shop;  we use a lot of cutting edge technology in our shop, but we engage in good old-fashioned conversations with people helping to find answers to their questions while providing solutions for there needs.
