Water Jet Cutting: The Best Way to Cut Quartz and Granite
Why We Use Water Jet Fusion Pro Saws on Quartz & Granite
When it comes to countertops, precision isn’t just a bonus—it’s a must. That’s why at Countertops in Montana, we use Water Jet Fusion Pro Saws for cutting and shaping our quartz and granite materials. These saws combine high-pressure water with diamond blades, giving us the edge (literally) when it comes to quality, accuracy, and safety.
What Is a Water Jet Fusion Pro Saw?
Water Jet Fusion Pro Saws use a combination of high-speed diamond blades and pressurized water flow to cut through dense materials like quartz, granite, marble, and more. The water acts as a coolant and dust suppressant, allowing for smoother cuts and longer blade life.
1. Precision You Can See
Quartz and granite are both incredibly durable—but that strength also makes them hard to cut cleanly with basic equipment. Water Jet Fusion Pro Saws provide razor-sharp accuracy, which is especially critical for:
Seamless edges
Intricate sink and faucet cutouts
Custom shapes and curves
2. Less Heat, Less Risk
Friction from dry cutting can generate intense heat, which can lead to:
Microfractures in the stone
Warping or discoloration in quartz
Blade damage or reduced tool life
By using a water jet system, heat is minimized, reducing the risk of damage to the material.
3. Cleaner Cuts, Less Waste
The water not only keeps things cool but also washes away debris instantly, allowing for a clearer cutting path. This results in:
Fewer chips and cracks
Less rework
Cleaner installation overall
4. Better for Our Team, Better for You
Stone cutting can create dangerous silica dust. Water Jet Fusion saws drastically reduce airborne particles, creating a safer environment for our team—and keeping dust out of your home during install prep.
The Final Cut
When you’re investing in a quartz or granite countertop, the material matters—but so does the method. Water Jet Fusion Pro Saws let us bring out the best in each slab, from cut to polish. The result? Clean lines, tight fits, and flawless finishes—built to last.

Here’s what’s hot in quartz right now — and a few product picks we’re loving at Countertops In Montana.
