Discover the Precision and Power of Water Jet Cutting at Red River Precision
Created at : Apr 8, 2025
At Red River Precision, we pride ourselves on offering cutting-edge fabrication solutions, and one of our most versatile and efficient technologies is water jet cutting. Whether you're in aerospace, construction, automotive, or custom design, our water jet cutting capabilities provide the precision, adaptability, and clean finish required to meet even the most complex project demands.
What Is Water Jet Cutting?
Water jet cutting is a cold cutting process that uses a high-pressure stream of water, often combined with an abrasive material, to slice through a wide range of materials. Unlike traditional cutting methods, water jet technology generates no heat, which means no heat-affected zones, warping, or structural changes to your materials. This makes it ideal for applications where material integrity is paramount.
Materials We Cut
One of the standout features of our water jet cutting services is the broad spectrum of materials we can handle. At Red River Precision, we cut:
- Metals – Including aluminum, stainless steel, copper, brass, and titanium
- Stone – Granite, marble, and slate for architectural or decorative applications
- Glass – From standard to laminated and bullet-resistant
- Composites – Like carbon fiber and Kevlar used in high-performance industries
- Plastics and Rubber – Such as PVC, acrylic, and foam-based materials
- Ceramics and Tiles
- Wood products – Including MDF and plywood
Thick or Thin, We’ve Got It Covered
Our state-of-the-art water jet system is capable of cutting through a wide range of thicknesses. From thin sheets to materials up to 10 inches thick, we tailor each job to match your specifications. Whether you need a delicate cut on a thin panel or a powerful slice through solid steel, we deliver consistent, clean results.
Precision Matters
Precision is at the core of what we do. Our water jet cutting services offer:
- Tolerances as tight as ±0.003 inches
- Smooth, burr-free edges
- Minimal kerf width, which translates to less material waste and more accurate parts
- Advanced taper control, especially beneficial for thicker materials
This high level of accuracy reduces the need for secondary machining or finishing, saving you time and money.
Benefits of Water Jet Cutting
Choosing water jet cutting means choosing a process that is:
- Cold and clean – No heat distortion, no hardening of edges
- Environmentally friendly – No hazardous fumes or waste
- Highly versatile – Perfect for intricate patterns and varied materials
- Cost-effective – Less waste, less downtime, and less need for post-processing
