CNC Waterjet Cutting
- CNC OMAX Waterjet
Abrasive water jet cutting is one of the most versatile methods available, and it’s a key part of our CNC Metal Cutting Services at Freedom Fabricators. Using our Made-in-the-USA OMAX Maxiem 1530, equipped with state-of-the-art CNC software and technology, we provide the fastest cutting speeds and unmatched precision compared to other abrasive water jets in the industry. By harnessing 50,000 PSI (pounds per square inch) of water mixed with premium garnet, our CNC Metal Cutting Services can quickly and efficiently cut virtually any material while maintaining exceptional accuracy.
With the expertise of our highly skilled fabricators and machine operators, we achieve tolerances of +/- 0.005” and deliver outstanding edge quality. Unlike traditional cutting methods, abrasive water jet cutting creates no heat-affected zones or mechanical stresses, preserving the integrity of your part. Our OMAX water jet offers a 5’ x 10’ cutting envelope, allowing us to handle larger projects with ease. For cost savings and efficiency, our CNC Metal Cutting Services also include part nesting options that maximize material usage and reduce waste, ultimately lowering overall project costs.
Freedom Fabricators provides CNC Metal Cutting Services for a wide variety of materials including stainless steel, mild steel, aluminum, brass, copper, carbide, granite, stone, marble, tile, glass, plastics, Lexan/polycarbonate, polypropylene, starboard, rubber, foam, wood, and more. Whether you need precision parts for aerospace, automotive, construction, or custom manufacturing, our water jet cutting technology ensures accuracy, consistency, and value every time.
Frequently Asked Questions About CNC Waterjet Cutting
What materials can be cut with CNC waterjet technology?
Freedom Fabricators lists stainless steel, mild steel, aluminum, brass, copper, carbide, granite, stone, marble, tile, glass, plastics, Lexan/polycarbonate, polypropylene, starboard, rubber, foam, wood, and other materials among its waterjet capabilities.
How accurate is CNC waterjet cutting?
Our OMAX waterjet page states that experienced operators can maintain tolerances of approximately ±0.005 inches while delivering strong edge quality.
Does waterjet cutting create a heat-affected zone?
No. Abrasive waterjet cutting is a cold-cutting process, so the page specifically notes that it does not create heat-affected zones or mechanical stresses in the material.
What size material can the OMAX waterjet accommodate?
The OMAX Maxiem 1530 has a listed cutting envelope of up to 5 feet by 10 feet. Material type, thickness, geometry, and project requirements still need to be reviewed for each job.
Can waterjet cutting be used for prototypes and production work?
Yes. Freedom Fabricators uses CNC programming and part nesting to support custom parts as well as repeat production while improving material utilization.
When would laser cutting be another option?
Freedom Fabricators also operates a Bystronic CNC Laser Machine for precision cutting of carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The best process depends on the material, part geometry, edge requirements, and production needs.
