Waterjet Cutting

At Tube Fab/Roman Engineering, we utilize our waterjet cutting equipment to provide stand-alone parts, and component parts that may be added to our clients’ tube assemblies. Waterjet cutting uses water at extremely high pressure – 60,000 psi – to cut virtually any material.

The benefits of waterjet cutting include:

• Cuts almost any material up to 6 inches thick
• Waterjet cut tolerances of +/-.005" to .008" can be achieved on thin stock.
• Additional cut tolerance allowance for taper on thicker stock may be required.
• We can also offer HAAS machining to achieve tighter feature tolerance, such as attachment holes or datum features.
• Thin cut width reduces scrap
• Smooth cut eliminates secondary edge finishing
• No heat build-up – no material distortion
• Handles small lot sizes and high volume production
• Eliminates tooling costs for low volume flanges and brackets

We work with the following materials:

• Aluminum
• Armor Plate
• Brass
• Bronze
• Bulletproof Glass
• Ceramics
• Copper
• Fiberglass
• Granite

• Magnesium
• Marble
• Plastics
