Materials
Waterjets are well suited for a vast array of materials and there are very few things that can’t be cut with them. Keeping a huge selection of material inventory along with a diverse, well-maintained group of vendors allows us to keep costs down and service high. Our in-house material inventory consists of a wide variety of materials in different thicknesses including stainless steel, plastics, composites, and alloy steels. We have yet to reach any thickness limits for what we can cut, so whether you’re looking to cut some thin-gauge stainless or 8″ aluminum, ask and you’ll get our absolute best supply.
