Precision CNC Waterjet Cutting Services

Posted on by Bassett Industries Inc.

At Bassett Industries, our advanced CNC Waterjet Cutting technology delivers burr-free, exceptionally accurate components while preserving the material’s properties.

waterjet cuttingWhen working with sensitive, thick, or complex materials, traditional cutting methods often introduce flaws like thermal distortion or material hardening. This is where high-pressure Waterjet Cutting stands out as the superior solution.  Here is why our waterjet cutting services should be the foundation of your next project.

Waterjet Cutting is the Cold Standard for Precision

Our industrial CNC Waterjet Cutting system utilizes a supersonic stream of water mixed with an abrasive garnet to cut through nearly any material up to 12 inches thick. This method provides several non-negotiable advantages for high-quality production:

  • No Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ): Because waterjet cutting is a “cold-cutting” process, it eliminates the thermal stress and material changes (like warping or discoloration) associated with plasma or laser cutting. This makes it ideal for metals like aluminum and stainless steel, as well as heat-sensitive materials.
  • Burr-Free Edges: The resulting cut is smooth and clean, leaving behind no burrs. This often eliminates the need for time-consuming secondary operations, translating directly to faster turnaround times and reduced overall costs for you.
  • Ultimate Material Versatility: While we excel at cutting metals (steel, aluminum, stainless, titanium, copper, bronze), our waterjet cutting services also handle non-traditional materials like glass, marble, rubber, and foam—offering limitless design possibilities across diverse industries.

Bassett Industries has invested in CNC Waterjet Cutting systems built for massive industrial scale and uncompromising accuracy:

  • Large-Format Cutting: Our machines boast a substantial working envelope, capable of cutting material up to 275 inches long by 120 inches wide, accommodating extremely large components and assemblies.
  • Tighter Tolerances: We consistently hold tolerances down to +/- 0.003 inches. This level of precision ensures perfect fit-up when your components move on to subsequent processes, like welding or assembly.
  • Dual Dynamic Head Capabilities: We utilize dual dynamic heads to simultaneously cut parts. This technology significantly lowers costs, speeds up processing, and ensures quick turnaround on both large volumes and complex prototypes.
