Austin Waterjet

AUSTIN WATERJET INC. was founded in April, 1997, by James and Janet Miller in Austin, Texas. The goal of the company has always been to provide customers with high quality parts, and short lead times. Austin Waterjet has experienced steady growth even during the “down years” by providing excellent service, short lead times, and rapid response to the needs of our customers. Since 1997, the company has moved twice to accommodate this growth in sales volume, and currently resides in south Austin in a 16,000 square foot facility on two acres of fenced yard. We have been diligent in keeping our production equipment up-to-date, and have added capability and services as required by the marketplace. As machines have aged, or become technologically outdated, they have been replaced with new, updated equipment. Additionally, we have continually evaluated and updated our systems and procedures to support the needs of our customers. Industries served by Austin Waterjet include Food Equipment, OEM, Aerospace, Construction, Architectural, Military, Semiconductor, and Composite Fabrication.We are a national cutting and fabrication shop serving Austin, San Antonio and the Central Texas region.

Sheet Metal Fabrication Services

Austin Waterjet offers precision CNC forming of sheet metal and plate such as mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, etc. With European style precision ground tooling and repeatability of the hybrid servo-drive rams, we can offer tight tolerances and high production volume and still retain the versatility for prototype orders.With the innovative “One Touch” punch holders and “Quick Change” V-dies, Austin Waterjet can offer faster and more accurate setups while maintaining tolerances of +/-0.005” up to 10 gauge thick and +/- 0.020 3/16” and thicker. These features combined with the sectionalized precision ground tooling allows for smooth transitions between different types of materials and thicknesses.

All of these features coupled with our sheet metal specific 2D/3D modeling software allows Austin Waterjet to import electronic drawing files such as DWG, DXF, PDF, IGES model, STEP model, or Solidworks model to produce a finished product in as short as 3-5 days. With our software we are also capable of creating our own 2D/3D electronic files which allows Austin Waterjet to make your concepts into reality.
