Looking for a clean, accurate way to cut copper without distortion or heat damage? At Northwest Waterjet, we specialise in high-precision waterjet cutting services, delivering perfect results for copper and other non-ferrous metals. Our advanced OMAX Waterjet systems slice through copper effortlessly, using ultra-high-pressure water (up to 50,000 PSI) combined with a fine abrasive—no heat, no warping, just flawless cuts.
Why Waterjet Cutting is Ideal for Copper
Copper’s excellent conductivity and reflective properties make it difficult to cut using traditional methods like laser or plasma. That’s where waterjet cutting excels. It’s a cold-cutting process, meaning:
- ❌ No heat-affected zones
- ❌ No surface hardening or discolouration
- ✅ Smooth, burr-free edges ready for use
- ✅ Accurate cuts even on intricate or delicate parts
Whether you’re producing electrical components, heat sinks, busbars, or decorative copper panels, we offer consistent, reliable results every time.
Our Capabilities
At Northwest Waterjet, we’re equipped with three industry-leading OMAX machines, capable of cutting copper sheets and plates up to 200mm thick. Using our Taper Compensation Heads, we deliver engineering-grade precision, cutting your copper parts to the exact specification—often with no need for secondary finishing.
We work with:
- Copper sheet and plate
- Oxygen-free copper (OFHC)
- Phosphor bronze and other copper alloys
- Custom cut-to-shape copper components
