Waterjet Cutting Services in Skelmersdale
North West Waterjet provides precision waterjet cutting services for engineering, manufacturing and fabrication businesses throughout Skelmersdale and West Lancashire.
From our Bamber Bridge workshop, we produce one-off components, prototypes, replacement parts and repeat production batches using customer drawings, technical specifications and CAD files.
Abrasive waterjet cutting allows metals and specialist materials to be profiled without creating a heat-affected zone, making it suitable for thick plate, complex shapes and components where the original material properties must be preserved.
Whether you require a single part or ongoing production support, our team can help take your project from drawing through to accurately cut components.
What Is Waterjet Cutting?
Waterjet cutting uses a high-pressure stream of water combined with a fine abrasive material to cut accurately through metal and other hard materials.
Because the process does not rely on heat, it avoids heat distortion, hardened edges and changes to the structure of the material. This makes it particularly useful for precision engineering components and materials that can be difficult to cut using thermal methods.
Waterjet cutting is suitable for:
- One-off and prototype parts
- Thick metal plate
- Detailed and complex profiles
- Heat-sensitive materials
- Replacement engineering components
- Short and repeat production runs
We serve customers throughout Skelmersdale and surrounding areas, including Ormskirk, Burscough, Up Holland, Rainford, Kirkby, Maghull and the wider West Lancashire area.
Materials We Can Cut Using Waterjet Technology
Our waterjet cutting equipment can accurately profile a broad range of metals and specialist materials, including:
- Mild steel
- Stainless steel
- Aluminium
- Brass and copper
- Titanium
- Plastics and composites
- Rubber and gasket materials
- Stone, ceramics and composites
Waterjet cutting is particularly effective for thick materials and components where heat distortion, discolouration or changes to the material structure must be avoided.

Why Choose Waterjet Cutting?
Waterjet cutting can be the right choice where a component requires accurate profiling without introducing heat into the material.
Benefits:
- No heat-affected zone
- Minimal material distortion
- Suitable for thick and specialist materials
- Accurate cutting of complex profiles
- Clean edges with reduced secondary finishing
- Suitable for prototypes and production quantities
Waterjet Cutting vs Laser Cutting
Waterjet cutting is often better for:
- Thick metal plate
- Heat-sensitive materials
- Reflective metals
- Stone, ceramic and composite materials
- Components where thermal distortion must be avoided
- Specialist material requirements
Laser cutting is often better for:
- Thin and medium-gauge sheet metal
- High-volume production
- Fast cutting of mild and stainless steel
- Detailed sheet-metal components
- Parts that will subsequently be CNC folded
For thinner sheet-metal components, larger production quantities or projects where speed is the main priority, our laser cutting service in Skelmersdale may offer a faster and more economical option. Send us your drawing and we can advise which process best suits the material, thickness and component design.
File Types We Accept
We can produce waterjet-cut components from customer-supplied CAD files, technical drawings and detailed specifications.
Commonly accepted file formats include:
- DXF
- DWG
- STEP
- PDF technical drawings
For the quickest quotation, include the required material, material thickness, quantities, tolerances and any required delivery date.
Do not yet have a production-ready CAD file? Our CAD design service may be able to help convert your drawing, sketch or concept into a suitable cutting file.
