THE CUTTING LAB
Precision Waterjet Profile Cutting in Auckland
Custom profile cutting for any material, any job.
The Cutting Lab at The Workshop 1924 delivers precision waterjet profile cutting in Auckland, built for industry.
Based in Pukekohe, we use advanced waterjet technology to cut metal, plastic, composites, stone, and more. As a result, you get clean, accurate cuts with no heat damage, no distortion, and minimal finishing required.
Whether you’ve got production work, one-off parts, or a custom design, we’ve got the capability to get it done right.
Why use waterjet profile cutting?
Compared to other cutting methods, the waterjet offers several clear advantages:
- No heat-affected zone (no warping or material stress)
- Clean edges with minimal burr
- High precision cutting (tight tolerances)
- Handles thick and delicate materials
- Efficient material use = less waste
Materials we cut
At The Cutting Lab, we use a Maxiem Waterjet cutter. The waterjet uses high pressure water and garnet (abrasive media) to cut through almost anything.
We cut a wide range of materials, including:
- Steel, stainless steel, aluminium
- Plastics and engineered materials
- Carbon fibre, Kevlar, G10
- Rubber, foam, gasket materials
- Stone, tile, and ceramics
That flexibility allows us to support a variety of jobs, from one-off parts to full production runs.
What we do
Custom & Production Cutting
Whether you need a single component or repeat production, we can scale to suit.
Fabrication Support
Instead of cutting in-house, we pre-cut components to reduce workshop time.
Design to Cut
If you don’t have a file, we can still help. We can create cut files from:
- Measurements
- Drawings
- Concepts
