Cutting Angle & Channel with Waterjet

Waterjet cutting holes and slots in angle and channel can offer significant time and cost savings compared to traditional shop methods.

A fabrication shop working with angle or channel stock may need to use several different tools to produce the part needed: saw, ironworker, plasma cutter, drills, and more. Each tool requires a new setup, adding time and labor to the job.

One Setup, Multiple Operations

Waterjet cutting the angle or channel allows for various hole sizes, slots, and notches to be cut in a single operation — often within minutes. No tool changes, no multiple setups, no repositioning the workpiece.

The waterjet handles the cutting with no heat-affected zone, so the structural integrity of the angle or channel is fully preserved. And because the waterjet works from a digital file, every piece comes out identical — which matters when you're cutting multiples.
