Waterjet Cutting
Aquacut Waterjet Cutting
At Aquacut, waterjet cutting is at the heart of what we do. Utilising advanced water jet cutters and high-pressure water jet equipment, we specialise in creating building finishes, particularly in porcelain, but we also precision cut stone, metals, glass, plastics, and composites. Our CNC-controlled jet cutting machines deliver clean cuts with no heat-affected zones, ensuring high-quality results. We offer custom waterjet cutting services in Warrington and across the UK, providing intricate designs with fine tolerances. Whether you need general water jetting services we’ve got you covered.
What is Waterjet Cutting?
Waterjet cutting is a process that uses high-pressure water mixed with an abrasive substance, to cut materials. It’s highly precise and can cut through a variety of materials without generating heat, preventing any heat-affected zones.
Benefits of Waterjet Cutting
- Precision: Achieve intricate designs and fine tolerances with our water jet CNC machines.
- Versatility: Suitable for cutting metals, stone, porcelain tiles, glass, plastics, and composites.
- No Heat-Affected Zones: The cold cutting process prevents discolouration and material distortion, especially important when cutting metals
- Clean Cuts: Waterjet cutting leaves smooth edges without the need for secondary finishing.
Waterjet Cutting Frequently Asked Questions
A water jet cutter works by pressurising water up to 60,000 PSI and forcing it through a small nozzle to cut materials. Abrasive substances can be added to enhance cutting power for harder materials.
Materials include metals, ceramics, composites, glass, plastics, and stone.
Yes, it uses water and natural abrasives, producing minimal waste and no harmful gases.
Absolutely. We specialise in custom waterjet cutting services, offering tailored solutions for unique project requirements. These projects are often large ‘jig-saw’ type designs covering large floor or wall areas which cannot be achieved by any other means. Very few companies have the expertise required to create these complex jobs.
Typically, materials up to 150mm thick can be cut, depending on the material type and specific machine capabilities.
