The Best Edge

Hole drilling is easy for our waterjets, as is stained glass cutting at the other end of the spectrum. There’s no need to etch and break when you are cutting glass with waterjets, so there’s less wasted material and no program pattern limitation. Our exclusive UltraPierce™ option allows you to pierce even the most delicate glass without cracking or creating a crater.
