Waterjet & Laser Cutting Services in Portland, Oregon
When you need a part that is cut to tight tolerances, or you don’t want any heat generated with the cut, the waterjet is an excellent choice. Depending on the material, Rubber Resource can hold tolerances of 0.0078” with the waterjet.
Waterjet cutting is also a cost-effective choice for smaller runs where a die could add unneeded costs to a one-and-done job.
Waterjet cutting is also an advantage when the thickness of the material makes die-cutting difficult to hold part tolerances.
