Contract Waterjet Cutting
At Anpllocnc, our team of experts is here to provide exceptional customer service to help with any part design, simple or complex. Our waterjet cutting machine is capable of cutting intricate parts from steel plate. Whether you are an entrepreneur with big ideas or a manufacturer that needs prototype parts, our team is ready to convert your concept into useable parts. We offer a cost-effect waterjet cutting service that fits your budget, with 100% traceable and ISO 9001:2015 certified quality.
We provide Industrial Waterjet Cutting Services. We often figure out how to cut that difficult part that others cannot figure out. Many times the solution for those extremely challenging parts is developing the tooling to enable the waterjet to cut it effectively.
When you give us a waterjet cutting project, it is not perceived as an afterthought, IT IS OUR ONLY THOUGHT! Your project is our top priority, and we make sure it is done correctly, most efficiently, with on time delivery.
Why Use Waterjet Cutting For Your Parts?
Waterjet cutting does not warp or alter the structure of the material being cut, as a laser or more traditional cutting tool sometimes does. It is also is capable of very fine and complicated shapes. Additionally, a waterjet’s precision cuts do not require sanding or grinding, and it produces no byproducts that might harm human operators or the environment — unlike laser cutting and plasma cutting. The water can also be recycled, reducing waste and cost while increasing energy efficiency.
CNC waterjet cutters can be used on almost any material, and are easily adjusted from pure water cutting to abrasive water cutting. This makes them an adaptable tool for many industries.

Custom Waterjet Cutting Benefits
- Abrasive waterjet cutting is up to four times faster than conventional waterjet cutting
- Precision cutting can hold tolerances, up to +/- 0.005″
- Waterjet cutting produces a finished edge cut, reducing secondary finishing, and providing the best cost-per-part cutting compared to any other cutting solution
- Versatile cutting of a wide variety of materials reducing secondary finish machining
- Waterjet cutting does not generate heat, so no burning or melting
- Parts can be stacked with precision cutting from layer-to-layer, which further reduces part cost
- Close nesting of parts reduces scrap and lowers the cost of each part
- Precision CAD cut capabilities support the accurate cutting of complex shapes from material up to 9” thick
Waterjet Cutter General Tolerances
| Description | General Tolerance |
|---|---|
Distance Dimensions | For features of size (Length, width, diameter) and location (position, concentricity, symmetry) +/- 0.030” is typical. Material length and thickness may affect tolerances. |
Thickness Dimension | Thickness tolerances are determined by the material blank. |
Minimum Recommend Part Size | 3.000″ |
Minimum Feature Size | 2X material thickness with a minimum of 0.125″ |
Kerf (slit size) | Approximately 0.062″ |
Edge Condition | Waterjet parts will have a vertical striation on the edges and may show a slight taper. |
Please check out Anpllocnc’s Manufacturing Standardsfor more information on tolerances per process. Unless we have agreed to other tolerances in your Quote, we will work to achieve and hold the tolerances noted.
