WHAT IS A WATERJET CUTTER?

Waterjet cutting is a cold-cutting process that uses ultra-high-pressure water combined with abrasive garnet to cut through virtually any material with extreme precision. Because it generates no heat, there's no risk of material distortion or warping—making it the ideal solution for delicate or heat-sensitive jobs.

Our OMAX 5555 waterjet cutter is a high-precision workhorse, capable of producing intricate, smooth-edged 2D parts with tolerances as fine as 0.1mm.

MATERIALS LIMITATIONS

While our waterjet can cut a wide variety of materials, there are a few important notes and exceptions:

Carbon fibre, composites, and ceramic tiles can be cut, but with varying success. These materials are cut at your own risk and will be charged regardless of the outcome.
Composites and carbon fibre may delaminate due to their layered structure and the pressure of the jet.
Ceramic tiles, especially those under internal tension, may crack or fracture during cutting or drying.
For health and safety reasons, we do not cut tempered glass, toxic or heavy metals, or diamonds.

If you’re unsure whether your material is suitable, we’re happy to advise based on our previous experience to help avoid potential issues.

WHY CHOOSE WATERJET CUTTING?

Our OMAX 5555 waterjet cutter offers industry-leading precision, speed, and versatility.

Unmatched Accuracy: Precision cutting to ±0.1mm means perfect parts, even for complex or detailed designs.
No Heat, No Distortion: The cold-cutting process protects your materials—no burns, warping, or structural compromise.
No Concerning Residue: No noxious gases, liquids, or oils are used in (or caused by) the machining process.
Cuts Virtually Anything: From metals to glass, composites to rubber, our machine handles a wide range of materials up to 200mm thick.
Clean Edges, Minimal Finishing: The satin-smooth edge finish often eliminates the need for post-processing, saving you time and money.
Fast Turnaround: With full in-house design and DXF prep, we take your idea from sketch to finished product quickly and efficiently.
Optimised Material Use: Advanced nesting software reduces waste—ideal for short runs and high-value materials.

Whether you’re prototyping, producing one-off parts, or scaling up production, the OMAX 5555 helps us deliver exceptional results every time.
