Waterjet Cutting Services

Borderland Weldshop at Borderland Colony offers state-of-the-art 5-axis waterjet cutting services for clients who demand precision, versatility, and fast turnaround. Our cold cutting process eliminates heat-affected zones entirely, preserving the structural integrity of every material we cut and delivering parts that are ready for immediate use, welding, or further machining without secondary processing.

From heavy industrial steel plate to delicate glass and stone, Borderland Weldshop bridges the gap between complex design and functional reality with industry-leading precision and turnaround times that keep your projects moving.

Advanced 5-Axis Waterjet Cutting

Our state-of-the-art 5-axis cutting head goes far beyond standard flat-plate cutting, unlocking full 3D versatility for the most demanding fabrication requirements.

• Multi-Axis Motion — full 5-axis articulation for beveled edges, chamfers, and complex 3D geometric shapes

• Weld-Ready Parts — automatically cuts V, K, and Y bevel weld preps up to 60-90 degrees, eliminating secondary grinding entirely

• Taper Compensation — intelligent software adjusts cutting angle to compensate for natural stream taper, ensuring perfectly square edges on thick materials

• Tight Tolerances — precision-held tolerances for parts that fit right the first time

• Zero Heat-Affected Zone — cold cutting preserves material hardness, structural integrity, and surface quality on every cut

Materials We Cut

Hard Metals and Alloys

• Stainless steel and carbon steel up to 9-12 inches thick, no edge hardening, easy post-machining

• Aluminum for structural and architectural components

Brittle and Delicate Materials

• Glass and ceramics, intricate shapes and holes cut without cracking, ideal for architectural glazing and artistic inlays

• Stone and granite for custom countertops, flooring inlays, and signage

Soft and Flexible Materials

• Rubber and foam for custom gaskets, seals, and packaging inserts using pure water or fine abrasive

What We Produce

• Industrial Manufacturing — machine parts, gears, flanges, and brackets

• Architecture and Design — custom metal screens, glass partitions, and stone inlays

• Automotive and Agriculture — heavy equipment repair parts, wear plates, and custom shims

• Gasket and Sealing — custom rubber seals and flange gaskets cut to any profile

• Rapid Prototyping — CAD file to finished part in minutes, ideal for design verification before production

• Nesting Optimization — advanced software minimizes scrap waste and lowers material costs

From Concept to Creation, In-House CAD and Design

No technical drawing? No problem. Borderland Weldshop’s expert design team turns your ideas into precision-engineered parts ready to cut.

• CAD Drafting, 2D and 3D — high-accuracy digital files created from physical templates, sketches, or samples

• Reverse Engineering — bring in a worn or broken part and we map it and cut an exact replacement

• File Optimization — we clean and nest your existing DXF, DWG files for fastest cut times and minimum material waste

• Design for Manufacturability — we consult on your designs to optimize for the 5-axis waterjet process, reducing costs and improving part performance
