VT machining specialises in CNC Waterjet Cutting 316 Stainless Steel. Because 316 Stainless Steel is corrosion resistant, strong and hygienic, and its machinability is moderate; work-hardens, so positive-rake tooling and steady feeds are used to avoid glazing, we plan each job around the grade to protect accuracy and surface quality.
CNC Waterjet Cutting Capability for 316 Stainless Steel
- Austenitic/martensitic grades
- Corrosion resistant
- Tolerance to ±0.01 mm
- Typical hardness 70–200 HB (annealed)
CNC Waterjet Cutting Quality & Inspection
We verify CNC Waterjet Cutting 316 Stainless Steel dimensionally and can supply mill certs and inspection documentation, giving confidence that every 316 Stainless Steel part meets specification.
Machining 316 Stainless Steel with CNC Waterjet Cutting
The machinability of 316 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 and coolant to match, keeping the 316 Stainless Steel workpiece stable and the result accurate.
Applications of CNC Waterjet Cutting 316 Stainless Steel

Why is 316 Stainless Steel a good choice for CNC Waterjet Cutting?
316 Stainless Steel is corrosion resistant, strong and hygienic, which makes it well suited to CNC Waterjet Cutting. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished 316 Stainless Steel cutting part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Waterjet Cutting 316 Stainless Steel?
Achievable tolerances for 316 Stainless Steel cutting depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Laser cutting holds contour tolerances to around ±0.05 mm depending on thickness. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
What is CNC Waterjet Cutting 316 Stainless Steel and how is it done?
CNC Waterjet Cutting 316 Stainless Steel refers to abrasive waterjet cutting erodes metal with a high-pressure abrasive stream, with no heat-affected zone. Applied to 316 Stainless Steel — corrosion resistant, strong and hygienic — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
Which industries use CNC Waterjet Cutting 316 Stainless Steel parts?
CNC Waterjet Cutting 316 Stainless Steel parts are used across aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics, semiconductor and general industrial sectors — anywhere precise 316 Stainless Steel components are required.
What surface finish is achievable on 316 Stainless Steel with CNC Waterjet Cutting?
Laser cutting leaves a clean cut face on 316 Stainless Steel with a small heat-affected zone; most parts need little secondary finishing.
Does CNC Waterjet Cutting 316 Stainless Steel require dedicated tooling?
Most 316 Stainless Steel cutting work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
