Custom Waterjet Cutting

At Double R Manufacturing, we pride ourselves on offering cutting-edge fabrication techniques that deliver precision and versatility. One of our standout services is waterjet cutting, a method that has revolutionized the way materials are cut in modern manufacturing. Whether you’re looking for custom signs, furniture, or solutions for commercial and personal projects, waterjet cutting provides the flexibility and accuracy to bring your vision to life.

How Does Waterjet Cutting Work?

Waterjet cutting is an innovative process that uses a high-pressure stream of water, often mixed with an abrasive substance, to slice through a wide variety of materials. The water is pressurized to levels as high as 60,000 psi, which allows it to penetrate and cut through dense materials such as metal, stone, glass, and even composites. This method is non-thermal, meaning it doesn’t generate heat during the cutting process, making it ideal for materials that are sensitive to high temperatures.

Why Waterjet Cutting is So Precise

Waterjet cutting is known for its exceptional precision. With the ability to make cuts within a tolerance of less than a millimeter, this technology is perfect for applications where accuracy is critical. The cutting stream is incredibly fine, allowing for intricate shapes and designs to be created with sharp detail, whether it’s a decorative pattern on a piece of furniture or a customized sign for your business.

Unlike other methods such as laser cutting, waterjet cutting leaves no heat-affected zones, meaning there is no warping, cracking, or distortion on the edges of your cut. This results in smoother, cleaner edges, which is why it’s widely used for detailed and complex work that requires a flawless finish.
