We offer a range of surface treatments and custom finishes on solid metal and plastic parts, including anodizing, spray painting, vapor polishing, sandblasting, silk screening, etc.
| General Dimensional Tolerance | ±0.076 mm to ±0.254 mm (±0.003" to ±0.010") | Tighter tolerances achieved with fine abrasive and slow cutting speeds. |
|---|---|---|
| Cut Edge Quality (Kerf Taper) | ±1° or better | Kerf taper increases on thicker materials; can be minimized with taper control. |
| Minimum Hole Size | ≥ material thickness | Holes smaller than material thickness may be inaccurate or incomplete. |
| Minimum Feature Size | 0.5 – 1.0 mm | Thin walls, sharp corners, and narrow slots must be designed cautiously. |
| Minimum Kerf Width | ~0.8 – 1.2 mm (0.032″ – 0.047″) | Depends on nozzle size and abrasive type. |
| Part-to-Part Repeatability | ±0.025 mm (±0.001″) | High-end machines with controlled conditions. |
| Edge Finish Quality (Q Levels) | Q1 to Q5 | Q1 = roughest/fastest; Q5 = smoothest/slowest cut. |
| Material Thickness Range | Up to 300 mm+ (12″+) | Can cut very thick or layered materials without distortion. |
| Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ) | None | Ideal for temperature-sensitive materials like titanium or composites. |
| Flatness of Cut Parts | Maintained | Since no heat is applied, flatness is preserved unless material stress is present. |

Here are the surface finishes suitable for Waterjet Cutting, enhancing appearance, function, or prep for secondary processes:
The natural surface left after waterjet cutting, slightly textured with minimal taper; ideal for functional parts without aesthetic needs.
Removes sharp edges or burrs left by the cutting process, improving safety and assembly fit.
Applies a smooth, matte texture by blasting the part with fine media—ideal for aesthetic or paint-ready surfaces.
Enhances surface smoothness and shine, often used on metal or stone components post-cutting for a refined look.
A linear, satin-like texture applied after cutting, commonly used for stainless steel and aluminum components.
Adds a durable, protective layer in various colors, used after waterjet cutting to improve corrosion resistance and visual appeal.
