Water Jet Cutting
Alcobra has it all when it comes to your waterjet cutting or cold cutting needs. We specialize in all types of architectural and industrial cutting. Having built a reputation for metal fabrication in Spokane, Washington, and other cities in the Pacific Northwest, we have executed a wide variety of projects that maximize the use of your material. While you can shop online for parts in our catalog, there are times you need custom parts. Alcobra is willing to cut any order, large or small, simple or intricate, and ship anywhere in the United States.
Our machines can cut up to nearly 10″ thick of most sheet or block materials and feature 5-axis cut heads, allowing us to cut 3D features up to 60 degrees.

Why Choose Alcobra Metals for Water Jet Cutting Service?
At Alcobra Metals, we provide high-precision waterjet services for a wide range of materials with unmatched accuracy. Our advanced waterjet technology allows for intricate custom cuts without heat distortion, ensuring the best results for your machining, manufacturing, and fabrication needs. Here are the key advantages of our waterjet cutting service.
No Heat-Affected Zones (HAZ)
Our CNC waterjet cutting machines use a high-pressure waterjet and garnet to cut through steel and other materials. As a result, it eliminates the heat-affected zones that can be caused by plasma or laser jet cutting, creating a cleaner and more durable cut.
Maximum Material Utilization
Minimize waste and maximize efficiency in creating new parts with our precision waterjet cutting process.
Near-Machine Finish
Our custom waterjet cutting also allows for precise, non-continuous cuts that reduce post-processing time.
Compatible with Most Materials
Our advanced waterjet cutter is an industrial CNC machine used to cut metals, plastics, composites, ceramics, rubber, wood, glass, and more up to 10” thick into parts or sheets.
High Cutting Tolerance
Our water jet cutting services offer industry-leading accuracy, ensuring repeatability and tight tolerances for every cut of a part.
Extreme Cutting Power with Abrasive Nozzle
We use ultra-high-pressure water (up to 100,000 PSI) with abrasive nozzles to cut through even the toughest materials.
