LASER Beam Machining an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation cutting is achieved by focusing a high energy beam only .005 in. wide. Holes as small as .030 in. in diameter can be accurately cut in small or large lot sizes. One of the many advantages to LASER cutting is that a variety of shapes can be cut consistently. We use two CO2 LASERs to cut wood and acrylic up to 1 inch thick.

Hydrodynamic Machining also known as Waterjet cutting is a process that uses high pressure water mixed with abrasive to cut a narrow slot in any material. The kerf or slot width is approximately .040 in. (1mm). The smallest diameter hole effectively cut is .0625 in. A few advantages of Waterjet cutting are that cuts can be started at any location without predrilling, there is no heat-affected zone, and laminated materials can be cut without de-lamination.




Machines accept full sheets of material up to 6 ft. x 12 ft.
All machines are computer numerically controlled with fixed workpiece operation.
Tolerances of .005 in. can be achieved on all machines.
2 Dimensional cutting in the X and Y directions only (no engraving).
Shapes from complex artwork to tight tolerance parts can be digitized for cutting.
Most plastic up to 1 inch thick can be cut on the CO2 LASERs.
Almost any material can be cut on the Waterjet. Some material up to 6 inches thick.
We can cut anything from the simple to the intricate in flat stock.
