Glass, Stone, and Tile Waterjet Cutting

Waterjet cutting is one of the best ways to cut glass, tile, granite, marble, and other stone. These materials are brittle and crack under heat or mechanical stress. A waterjet uses cold water pressure with no vibration, so edges come off clean, even on detailed shapes.

Materials we cut

  • Plate, annealed, and laminated glass
  • Granite and marble countertops and tile
  • Porcelain and ceramic tile
  • Limestone, travertine, slate, and natural stone
  • Composite stone materials

Applications

Custom tile and stone inlays, countertop cutouts, decorative glass panels, mosaic pieces, signage, and architectural features. Highly detailed tile mural work gets an extra review before we quote so the layout and cut order are right.

Why waterjet for glass and stone

Saws and grinders put mechanical stress on brittle material. Waterjet cutting uses cold water pressure with no vibration, so you get clean, chip-free edges and complex curves are possible from a drawing, a layout, or a production file.

We don’t cut tempered glass

Tempered glass holds internal stress. Cutting it releases that stress and the whole piece shatters. Tempered glass has to be cut to shape before it is tempered.

Common questions

Can you cut tempered glass?

No. Tempered glass shatters when cut. Glass has to be cut before it is tempered.

Can you cut sink or cooktop openings in a countertop?

Yes, in granite, marble, and other stone that fits on our 6 × 12 foot table. Send the template or dimensions.

Do you cut tile inlays and medallions?

Yes. Send the artwork or a drawing. Very detailed mural work gets an extra review before quoting.

What do I need to send for a quote?

A DXF or DWG file is ideal, but a PDF drawing, a STEP file, a sketch with dimensions, or a photo of the part with a tape measure in the shot is enough to start. Tell us the material, thickness, quantity, and when you need it if you know them. If not, we will ask.
