About Waterjet Cutting

From intricate glass shapes to detailed stained glass designs, mirrors, glass ornaments, and more, there’s almost no glass cutting application that a water jet glass cutting system can’t tackle. Both thin and thick glass materials can be cut and detailed with a precise cutting stream. And because water jet cutting does not vibrate the glass, produce heat-affected zones, or leave behind rough edges, almost no secondary finishing is required. In addition, water jet cutting’s ability to generate exact, clean cuts with speed make it an efficient cutting process for the majority of glass cutting applications.

What Waterjet Cutting can do:  

  • • Cut glass geometry that common hand cutting cannot achieve
  • • Perform cuts on delicate glass without breaking
  • • Cut through glass up to 9” thick
  • • Allow intricate design in any shape and size
  • • Generate glass products at great speeds
  • • Cost effective means of cutting holes in glass.

 

Note: Tempered glass cannot be cut by waterjet.
