CNC Waterjet Cutting 304L Stainless Steel from VT machining delivers precision 304L Stainless Steel parts made to your exact drawing. Abrasive waterjet cutting erodes metal with a high-pressure abrasive stream, with no heat-affected zone, with parameters tuned to 304L Stainless Steel, which is corrosion resistant, strong and hygienic.
CNC Waterjet Cutting Capability for 304L Stainless Steel
- Austenitic/martensitic grades
- Corrosion resistant
- Tolerance to ±0.01 mm
- Typical hardness 70–200 HB (annealed)
Machining 304L Stainless Steel with CNC Waterjet Cutting
The machinability of 304L Stainless Steel is moderate; work-hardens, so positive-rake tooling and steady feeds are used to avoid glazing. For CNC Waterjet Cutting we select tooling, feeds, speeds and coolant to match, keeping the 304L Stainless Steel workpiece stable and the result accurate.
Because we machine 304L Stainless Steel regularly, proven settings shorten setup and keep quality repeatable across reorders.
CNC Waterjet Cutting Tolerances & Surface Finish
Laser-cut 304L Stainless Steel holds contour tolerances around ±0.05 mm depending on thickness, with a narrow kerf and a clean, near burr-free edge.
The tightest tolerances are reserved for the features your drawing flags as critical. Share your tolerance scheme and we will confirm what is realistic before quoting.
Design Tips for CNC Waterjet Cutting 304L Stainless Steel
A few design choices make a real difference to cost and quality. Keeping holes no smaller than the material thickness, allowing for kerf, and grouping features sensibly improves edge quality and nesting yield on 304L Stainless Steel. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
We complete 304L Stainless Steel components with the secondary steps your drawing calls for. We arrange heat treatment, surface treatment, marking and assembly as needed. Tell us the final spec and we will plan the full route so parts arrive ready to use.
CNC Waterjet Cutting Quality & Inspection
Consistent quality comes from disciplined process control. Critical dimensions on 304L Stainless Steel parts are checked in-process and verified at final inspection using calibrated instruments and, where required, CMM measurement. Full documentation — dimensional reports, mill certs, FAIR — is available when your programme needs it.
