The water jet cutting machine is an industrial tool capable of slicing into metal or other materials using a jet of water at high velocity and pressure, or a mixture of water and an abrasive substance. The process is essentially the same as water erosion found in nature but accelerated and concentrated by orders of magnitude.
Abrasive water jet cutting technology is a great method for cutting glass because it allows for contours and shapes that cannot be achieved with other cutting machines at a reasonable cost. From artistic tabletop inlays to detailed stained glass designs, mirrors, replacement windows for and more, there is almost no glass cutting application that a waterjet cutting machine from Bear Glass waterjet can’t tackle.
Glass has a tendency to shatter, so it is very important that the initial holes are produced with a reduced pressure. Subsequently, the pressure must be increased to a cutting speed that is cost-effective. For glass, and other materials, which are crackable, you must gently raise and reduce the cutting pressure by means of proportional pressure control of the intensifier pump, otherwise, the material would be destroyed.
Water jet cutting machine does not vibrate the glass, there are no heat-affected zones, or leave behind rough edges, almost no secondary finishing is required. Reduce your cut-out processing time by 75% with waterjet!
Today, this technology is used for power point cutouts in glass splash-backs, holes for door hardware, balustrade panels, shower screens mirrors and tabletop inlays.
From a long time in quality, waterjet cutting is the best idea to cut a glass or mirror. We are one of the nation’s leading manufacturers of fabricated glass and mirror.

Key Benefits of Glass with Waterjet
- water jet cutting machine can cut complex patterns easily
- Increased productivity, fast cutting, and high-quality parts
- Save the raw materials — reduced scrap
- Low operating price — waterjet abrasive focusing nozzles requires rare replacement
- Single-pass cutting, depending on material thickness
- Net or near-net cutting, little or no hand finishing
- Reduced the tooling prices, lighter, flexible tooling
At Bear Glass, we are pride ourselves on staying up to date and keeping up with latest cutting technology. Water jet cutting machine is used both for the thin and thick glass to cut and detailed with a precise cutting stream. Be it glass tabletop, shower door, large glass wall blocks, or antique mirror waterjet can cut everything with perfection.
