Precision Waterjet Cutting
Versatile Cutting for Complex Materials & Thick Stock
Excell’s waterjet cutting services deliver clean, accurate cuts across a wide range of materials—including metals, plastics, composites, and even hardened materials—without introducing heat or distortion. Our OMAX 55100 systems are ideal for both prototyping and production work, especially where laser or traditional cutting methods fall short.
With cold cutting technology, we maintain material integrity, eliminate heat-affected zones, and handle delicate or thermally sensitive materials with precision.

Waterjet Tolerances & Kerf
- Standard tolerance: ±0.010″
- Tight tolerance capability: up to ±0.005″ (geometry dependent)
- Kerf width: typically 0.030″–0.045″, depending on material thickness and nozzle setup
- Clean edges, no heat distortion, minimal secondary finishing required
This cold-cutting process eliminates thermal stress, discoloration, and material warping, making it ideal for preserving material integrity. It excels at cutting thick, hard, brittle, or layered materials, and is equally effective for both one-off prototypes and full production volumes. With minimal fixturing and fast programming, waterjet cutting offers quick turnaround times. It’s also the perfect solution for materials that are reflective or otherwise challenging to cut with lasers.
