Pritchard Technologies, Inc. is an abrasive waterjet machining shop delivering high-precision parts with ±0.005" tolerances. No heat. No distortion. No minimum order. Virtually any material.
Ever since the year 2000, Pritchard Technologies, Inc. has been an abrasive waterjet machining shop providing customers with high-precision parts at up-to-date prices. Our facility is based in Clover, South Carolina, and we offer cutting services to customers of all types.
Commonly cut materials include Aluminum, Stainless Steel, and Carbon Steel at a wide range of thicknesses. The waterjet uses a high-pressure jet of water mixed with a garnet abrasive to efficiently cut through virtually any material effortlessly.
What truly sets Pritchard Technologies apart: there is no minimum order. Most other waterjet machining shops require a minimum number of parts — we don't. One part or one thousand, we're here to help.
John founded Pritchard Technologies in 2000 and remains hands-on with every job. He is personally available to discuss your project, provide accurate quotes, and ensure your parts are cut to spec and delivered on time.
Our large-format OMAX 55100 handles big parts with the same precision and tight tolerances. Ideal for architectural panels, large structural components, and higher-volume production runs.
The OMAX 2652 is our versatile workhorse for medium-format precision parts — fast, accurate, and capable across a wide range of materials and thicknesses for both prototypes and production.
Our OMAX abrasive waterjet equipment cuts through virtually any material — with precision, speed, and clean edges every time. Working 8–5, five days a week.
Waterjet cuts virtually any material without heat distortion. To list a few — but the list really does go on.
