CNC Waterjet Cutting Tungsten from VT machining delivers precision Tungsten parts produced to your exact drawing. Abrasive waterjet cutting erodes metal with a high-pressure abrasive stream, with no heat-affected zone, and we tune every parameter to the behaviour of Tungsten, which is extreme hardness, density and heat resistance.
CNC Waterjet Cutting Capability for Tungsten
- No heat-affected zone
- Thickness to 150+ mm
- Tolerance ±0.1 mm
- Any-metal capability
How CNC Waterjet Cutting Tungsten Works
A focused fibre-laser beam melts and blows material from the Tungsten sheet along the programmed contour. Power, focal position, nozzle stand-off and assist-gas pressure are tuned to the alloy and thickness for a clean, square edge.
Programming is driven directly by your 3D model or print. Work-holding, tool selection and the cutting strategy are planned around the critical features and the material before the first chip is cut. First-off inspection confirms the process is centred before production continues.
CNC Waterjet Cutting Quality & Inspection
We control quality throughout the process, not just at the end. In-process checks plus final inspection — including CMM where specified — keep every Tungsten part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
Working with Tungsten
As a material, Tungsten is extreme hardness, density and heat resistance. Our setup reflects the alloy's machinability so the finished part is accurate and free of avoidable defects.
We verify the exact grade and condition before machining, and traceable mill certs are available on request. We can work to your nominated material source or specification when required.
CNC Waterjet Cutting Tolerances & Surface Finish
Laser-cut Tungsten holds contour tolerances around ±0.05 mm depending on thickness, with a narrow kerf and a clean, near burr-free edge.
Exact achievable figures depend on the alloy, the feature size and the part geometry. Tell us which dimensions are critical and we will advise feasibility up front.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Finished Tungsten parts can move straight into secondary operations under one roof. Typical add-ons are deburring, passivation, anodising, plating, blasting, polishing and laser marking. We coordinate the whole chain so you receive complete, inspection-ready parts.
Design Tips for CNC Waterjet Cutting Tungsten
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Keeping holes no smaller than the material thickness, allowing for kerf, and grouping features sensibly improves edge quality and nesting yield on Tungsten. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.

Can VT machining make custom Tungsten parts to my drawing?
Yes. Tungsten Tungsten cutting is made to order from your CAD/2D drawing. Share your geometry, material grade, tolerance and quantity and we will confirm feasibility, lead time and pricing.
What surface finish is achievable on Tungsten with CNC Waterjet Cutting?
Laser cutting leaves a clean cut face on Tungsten with a small heat-affected zone; most parts need little secondary finishing.
How clean are the edges produced by CNC Waterjet Cutting on Tungsten?
Laser cutting leaves Tungsten with a narrow kerf and a clean, near burr-free edge and only a small heat-affected zone.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Waterjet Cutting Tungsten?
Achievable tolerances for Tungsten 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 Tungsten and how is it done?
CNC Waterjet Cutting Tungsten refers to abrasive waterjet cutting erodes metal with a high-pressure abrasive stream, with no heat-affected zone. Applied to Tungsten — extreme hardness, density and heat resistance — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
