Our Capabilities

Using specialist 3D software and computerised motion control, we provide precision Raex waterjet cutting with tolerances of +/- 0.1mm. Our Blackburn facility operates three advanced machines, handling materials up to 300mm thick on beds reaching 4m x 3m. We specialise in Raex abrasion resistant steel, which is engineered for extreme environments. Using Raex significantly extends equipment life and reduces costs, making it ideal for demanding sectors like mining, defence, and aerospace.

Our ISO9001:2015 accreditation guarantees quality for diverse industries from Formula 1 to offshore engineering. Beyond Raex, we process everything from stainless steel and Hardox to composites and granite. We also offer stacked cutting to increase efficiency by profiling multiple sheets at once. This versatile service ensures high performance results for any material or complex design requirement.
