Waterjet Cutting
Trust Redwood Machine Works to be your waterjet cutting partner! Whether you require a one-off prototype or a large-scale production run, we are dedicated to fulfilling all your waterjet cutting needs. Our expansive table accommodates workpieces up to 84" x 160" x 6", while our dynamic 5-axis cutting head effortlessly handles angles up to 60 degrees from vertical. From straight and curved bevels to countersinks and complex surfaces with continuously changing cut angles, our cutting-edge technology ensures accurate and flawless results.
Our water jet is capable of achieving tolerances down to +/- .005"
The waterjet is hailed as one of the most versatile cutting tools globally, combining high-pressure water, garnet abrasive, and CNC machine technology to slice through materials with exceptional precision. Utilizing an 87,000 psi high-pressure stream of water, we introduce almandine garnet as a granular abrasive to enhance cutting power. This cold cutting process eliminates heat-affected zones, enabling us to cut an extensive range of materials without compromising their integrity. By minimizing mechanical stress and heat distortion, we reduce or eliminate the need for secondary processing, resulting in stronger metals and pristine finished materials. Moreover, our waterjet proficiency spans various materials, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, bronze, titanium, Hastelloy, Inconel, carbon fiber, plastic, glass, stone, and many more.
As the premier fabricator for waterjet cutting in the San Francisco Bay Area, we bring unparalleled expertise to your projects. Contact us today to start your next waterjet cutting project, and let us deliver precision, versatility, and exceptional results.

Quality Control
The quality control and inspection experts at Redwood Machine Works recognize that careful attention to detail is essential at each step of a job - before, during, and after project completion. Therefore, we utilize calibrated top tier quality control instruments in our first article inspections, in-process inspections, and final inspections to ensure projects meet or exceed tolerances and requirements. Our commitment is that every product produced by Redwood Machine Works will be the benchmark for quality within its market segment.
Dedication to quality is essential to achieving customer satisfaction
RMW’s Quality Assurance policies are modeled after and in compliance with Society of Automotive Engineering (SAE) Aerospace Standard 9100 (AS9100), International Standard Organization (ISO) 9001 and American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) 207-16. From top to bottom within our organization, quality is second only to safety. At the beginning of every project, our leadership team comes together to generate a tailored quality control plan. This quality control plan is implemented in our technical work instruction as quality control checkpoints. During these inspections, our quality department utilizes a wide range of inspection equipment, including but not limited to micrometers, calipers, gage blocks, gage pins, thread gages, surface plate, height gage, indicators, depth mic, bore mic, etc. If you require your parts to be verified by CMM or optical comparator, we can outsource those inspections to our trusted 3rd party suppliers.
Non-destructive testing (NDT) is critical to evaluate and maintain project quality during fabrication. These in-process checks are performed by certified experts and are well documented. This ensures all code requirements, traceability, and quality specifications are achieved. All our precision machine measuring tools are calibrated in accordance with our Quality Manual, which is available upon your request. Our dedication to quality gives our customers the confidence that all products ordered will meet or exceed their expectations and specifications. Contact us today to get started on your next project!
Engineering & Design
Engineering support is more than programs and software. It is a dedicated team of technical experts with a “hands on” approach and critical experience. The engineers at Redwood Machine Works are able to take a bar napkin sketch or design concept and turn it into a finished engineered solution. Providing you with the support required to bring your design to fruition. Our production support team takes the time to immerse themselves in your unique requirements and specifications.
The key to engineering support is a solution driven approach
Each job is assigned a dedicated project engineer to manage every detail of production from start to finish. This engineer is the primary point of contact through the duration of your venture. They will develop a 3D CAD model, draft comprehensive shop drawings, write detailed technical work instructions, and create a complete quality control plan. Saving you time and money by catching any design issues before project fabrication.
The engineers at Redwood Machine Works are all originally from the San Francisco Bay Area. We are uniquely qualified to assist with the design challenges of the area including fabrication of structural seismic bracing and anchors. General construction plans and drawings rarely have the detail required to fabricate individual parts. Our engineers can quickly and accurately draft detailed shop drawings ready for submittal review by necessary parties. The engineers and production managers at Redwood Machine Works are well versed in the requirements and documentation procedures required for a public works project. We will work with you to provide as much technical detail for fabricated and purchased components as needed. Contact us today to start designing your next project!
