Save Time and Improve Consistency

Cutting and profiling every blank by hand takes time. Waterjet cutting allows you to start with accurate, repeatable profiles so you can focus on grinding, heat treatment, finishing, and assembly.

Waterjet-cut parts can help you:

  • Reduce cutting and profiling time
  • Maintain consistency across an entire batch
  • Increase production capacity
  • Improve material yield
  • Reduce unnecessary material waste
  • Move from prototypes to larger production runs

Material and Cutting From One Source

New Jersey Steel Baron supplies the material and performs the waterjet cutting in-house.

Keeping both services under one roof allows us to help:

  • Select the right material for your project
  • Maximize the number of parts produced from each sheet
  • Reduce shipping between multiple vendors
  • Save time during production
  • Simplify ordering and project coordination

We work with a wide range of steels and other sheet materials. Waterjet cutting can be used on materials up to 6 inches thick, depending on the material and project requirements.

What We Cut

Our waterjet services are commonly used for:

  • Knife blanks
  • Blade profiles
  • Tools
  • Guards and fittings
  • Mixed-model orders
  • Custom components
  • Prototypes
  • Small production batches
  • Large production runs

Flexible Quantities

You do not need to be a large manufacturer to use our waterjet services.

We work with independent makers, small businesses, growing production shops, and established manufacturers. Our goal is to keep minimums accessible while helping customers increase production as their needs grow.

Whether you need a small test batch or hundreds of repeatable parts, we will help determine the best approach for your project.

Waterjet Pricing

Pricing is calculated per part and includes:

  • Material
  • Machine setup
  • Waterjet cutting time
  • Project-specific preparation

Final pricing depends on the material, thickness, part size, design complexity, quantity, and sheet yield.

Material and cutting discounts may be available for higher-volume orders.

CAD Design Services

Do not have a cutting-ready file? We can help.

Our CAD design services can turn your concept into a usable DXF file for waterjet cutting. We can work from:

  • Existing DXF files
  • Properly scaled drawings
  • Dimensioned sketches
  • Graph-paper drawings
  • Physical templates
  • Existing blanks or sample parts

Once your design is completed, you will receive a PDF and DXF copy for review along with your waterjet quote.

Sending a Physical Template

Physical blanks and templates can be mailed to:

New Jersey Steel Baron
Attn: Extra Services
289 Wagaraw Road
Hawthorne, NJ 07506

For the best results, physical templates should be made from a stable material such as:

  • G10
  • Other rigid laminates
  • Tempered hardboard
  • Low-carbon steel
  • Aluminum

Templates should clearly represent the final outside profile. Mailed or emailed sketches should be properly scaled and include all important dimensions.

How the Process Works

1. Submit Your Project

Send us your design, dimensions, quantity, preferred material, and any other project requirements.

2. Design Review

We review your files and determine whether any CAD preparation or design changes are needed.

3. Material and Layout

We select the appropriate material and arrange the parts to maximize sheet yield.

4. Quote Approval

You receive a quote covering the material, cutting, and any required CAD work.

5. Waterjet Cutting

Your parts are cut in-house using CNC-controlled high-pressure water and abrasive.

6. Packing and Shipping

The finished parts are checked, packed, and prepared for pickup or shipment.
