Precision Waterjet Cutting &
Metal Fabrication in Surrey, BC

Heat-based cutting methods like plasma and laser create a heat-affected zone (HAZ)—a narrow band of metal beside the cut that gets overheated. This can:

• Harden the material and change its properties

• Cause warping and distortion

• Create micro-cracks that show up later when you bend, weld, or machine the part

Waterjet cutting is a cold process, so there’s no HAZ at all. Your parts:

• Stay flat and stress-free

• Are easier to weld, bend, and machine

• Need less grinding, rework, and scrap

The OMAX 80X is the most versatile and precise cutting tool available, making it the ideal solution for parts that fall into these categories:

1. High-Precision Critical Components

• Parts requiring dimensional tolerances as tight as ±0.003′′ on features.

• Components that must fit together without secondary machining.

• Prototypes and small-batch components that need CNC repeatability and positional accuracy up to ±0.001′′.

2. Sensitive Materials

• We can cut any material that typically cannot tolerate heat, such as titanium, hardened steels, specialty alloys, and composites.

• Thick parts (up to 8′′) where heat distortion would cause warping or micro-cracks in other processes.

3. Complex Geometry & Fast Turnaround

• Parts with intricate inner corners or complex nesting patterns.

• Jobs requiring quick setup time due to minimal fixturing and no tool changes.
  

Result: If your project requires tight accuracy, involves expensive or sensitive material, or demands complex shapes without heat damage, waterjet cutting is the fastest, most reliable option.

We specialize in high-precision industrial cutting. Our process is optimized for durability and precision in metals and polymers.

Materials We Specialize In:

• Steel & Stainless Steel: All grades, including hardened tool steels.

• Aluminum: High-speed, burr-free cutting for all alloys.

• Composites: Carbon fiber, G10, and laminates without delamination.

• Plastics: HDPE, UHMW, Delrin, and Acrylic.
  

Materials We Do Not Cut: To maintain the highest quality standards for our industrial clients, we do not offer cutting services for glass, ceramic tile, or natural stone (marble/granite). We focus exclusively on metals, composites, and plastics to ensure the best possible edge quality and turnaround times for those sectors.

We guarantee a Fast Quote with a detailed response and timeline often sent within hours of receiving your complete drawings. We prioritize rush orders.

No, we do not have any minimum order requirements. We happily handle single-part prototypes, short runs, and high-volume commercial orders.

We handle a wide range of material thicknesses. We can precision cut sheet metal as thin as 26 gauge without any heat distortion or warping.

On the heavy end, our OMAX 80X powers through plate up to 8 inches (203 mm) thick in virtually any material.

We offer massive capacity. Our OMAX 80X features 6' 8" x 13' 4" (2,032 mm x 4,064 mm) cutting envelope.

This allows us to easily process oversized plates or standard 6' x 12' sheet metal, stone, and glass with zero need for pre-cutting.

Our OMAX 80X is capable of positional accuracy up to ±0.001". For most standard commercial projects, we hold a tolerance of ±0.005".

Tighter tolerances (±0.003" or better) are available upon request for precision applications.

Absolutely. Our OMAX 80X waterjet is a precision CNC system capable of holding tolerances as tight as ±0.003".

We cut intricate designs without heat distortion, leaving a clean, smooth edge that often eliminates the need for any extra finishing work.

We accept all standard CAD formats including DXF, DWG, and STEP. We offer design assistance and file cleanup if needed.

Yes. We are a one-stop shop for turnkey fabrication. We can cut, bend, weld (CWB Certified), and finish your parts with a single partner.

The maximum we can bend is 1/4" steel plate.

Yes. Our process includes deburring, grinding, and polishing. Parts arrive with pristine edges, ready for final installation or assembly with no burrs or heat-affected zones.
