Waterjet Cutting Services For Metal And Steel
If you’re looking for metal and steel laser cutting in Perth, you’ll want precision, clean edges, and a reliable turnaround. WaterJet Perth delivers. We use advanced waterjet cutting technology without the heat risks of traditional laser cutting. Our cold-cutting process uses a high-pressure stream of water combined with an abrasive to cut metal and steel accurately, consistently, and cleanly.
We provide a precise, efficient alternative to metal laser cutting for a range of materials for commercial and industrial clients. Call us on 0412 783 467 today to secure your quote.
Types of Metals We Cut
At WaterJet Perth, we cut metals and steel of virtually any grade or density, with thicknesses up to 120mm. We offer coarse or fine cutting finishes depending on your specifications, with tolerances of up to +/-1mm.
Steel
We cut a broad range of steel types with precision, avoiding heat damage and warping, so you get strong, clean profiles every time.
Stainless steel
Ideal for architectural, industrial, and precision applications, stainless steel can be cut cleanly without heat-affected zones while improving material integrity.
Aluminium
We cut aluminium to precise specifications with no thermal distortion. Waterjet cutting delivers clean edges across a wide range of aluminium grades.
Brass and copper
Our waterjet tech can handle non-ferrous metals, including brass and copper, producing accurate cuts without discolouration or structural changes.
Titanium and other metals
Titanium and other harder metals are also suitable for waterjet cutting. The abrasive waterjet stream cuts without heat, making it ideal for metals that are difficult to laser cut due to melting or heat stress.
Metal screens
Waterjet cutting is the safest and most effective alternative to laser cutting for metal screens. Create unique, custom screens for large-scale building projects such as apartment buildings, commercial precincts and more.
Carbon fibre and composites
Carbon fibre and other composites are cut by WaterJet Perth using the same cold-cutting advantage.

What Is Waterjet Cutting?
Waterjet cutting uses a high-pressure stream of water with an abrasive to cut metal and steel without heat. Unlike laser cutting, it eliminates burns, warping, and heat-affected zones, preserving material strength and finish. Ideal for heat-sensitive and high-strength metals, waterjet cutting delivers precise, clean edges while often removing the need for secondary processing.
Benefits of Waterjet Cutting for Metals
- Cold cutting (no distortion or heat damage).
- Capable of complex shapes.
- Minimal finishing.
- Cost-effective compared to other methods.
- High-pressure cold-cutting delivers the precision people expect from metal and steel laser cutting without heat-related issues.
- Materials retain their strength and finish, ideal for heat-sensitive, high-strength metals.
- Greater flexibility and can produce complex shapes across material types and thicknesses.
- No need for secondary processing, making waterjet cutting more cost-effective.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What metals can be cut with waterjet cutting?
Waterjet cutting can handle virtually any metal, including steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper, titanium and even carbon fibre composites.
2. How thick can WaterJet Perth cut metal and steel?
We cut materials up to 120 mm thick with precision, maintaining clean, accurate edges regardless of thickness.
3. Is waterjet cutting better than laser cutting for metals?
For many metals, yes. Waterjet cutting is a cold-cutting process, so it avoids heat-related issues such as burns, warping, and discolouration. It’s especially effective for heat-sensitive, thick or high-strength metals where laser cutting may struggle.
4. What is the turnaround time for metal waterjet cutting projects?
Most projects are completed within 3–5 business days.
5. Can waterjet cutting produce custom designs and precise shapes?
Absolutely. Waterjet technology enables intricate, detailed cuts with tolerances of up to ±1 mm, precision results without the risk of heat damage. Custom metal screens, signage, industrial parts and decorative pieces are all possible.
