When people first hear about water cutting, one of the most common questions is:
“Can it really cut almost any material?” The answer is yes.

At Southern Stainless, our water cutting service from our Ormeau facility on the Gold Coast uses advanced abrasive waterjet technology to cut an extensive range of materials with exceptional accuracy—without the heat distortion associated with other cutting methods.

Water cutting, also known as abrasive waterjet cutting, combines ultra-high-pressure water with fine garnet abrasive to create a concentrated cutting stream. This powerful jet erodes the material rather than melting it, producing clean, accurate cuts while preserving the material’s integrity.

Because no heat is introduced, there’s no heat-affected zone, making it an excellent choice for materials that require a high quality finish.

One of the biggest advantages of water cutting is its versatility. Our Maxiem abrasive waterjet system can accurately cut:

  • Stainless steel
  • Mild steel
  • Aluminium
  • Titanium
  • Carbon fibre
  • Plastics
  • Composites
  • Stone
  • Glass
  • Timber / Wood
  • And many other materials

Unlike many other cutting methods, water cutting isn’t limited by material thickness. The cutting speed is simply adjusted to suit the material and its properties.

Based in Ormeau on the Gold Coast, Southern Stainless provides professional water cutting services for businesses, manufacturers, builders and fabricators throughout South East Queensland and Australia.
