Precision Rubber Cutting with Waterjet – Gaskets, Flooring & Industrial Parts

Cutting rubber accurately and cleanly can be a challenge, especially when the job calls for precision edges, complex shapes, or reinforced materials. At MRC Industries, we specialise in high-quality waterjet cutting for all types of rubber and urethane products, helping customers across manufacturing, mining, transport, and even the 4×4 aftermarket get exactly what they need.

Whether you need a single replacement gasket or an ongoing production run, our focus is always on delivering the right product, at the right quality, with a quick turnaround.

Why Choose Waterjet Cutting for Rubber?

Unlike die cutting, which compresses the rubber and can leave angled or distorted edges, waterjet cutting uses a high-pressure stream of water (with or without abrasive) to slice cleanly through the material. This means:

• Perfectly square edges for a proper seal
• No heat distortion, so the material properties remain unchanged
• Ability to cut intricate shapes and fine details
• Works on most rubbers, including reinforced and thick sections

For large production runs, die cutting may be more cost-effective, but for precision jobs, complex shapes, or when material waste must be minimised, waterjet cutting is the clear winner.

Rubber Materials We Cut

We have extensive experience cutting:

• Insertion Rubber
• EPDM
• Neoprene
• FDA-grade Nitrile
• Urethane
• Fabric-reinforced rubber

Rubber thickness from 1mm to 200mm cuts beautifully on our machines. Steel-bonded rubber can be more challenging, but with careful setup, we can achieve clean results.

If you don’t have the material, we can source most types through our trusted suppliers. For specialty rubbers, we are happy to work with the material you provide.

Our Process for Rubber Cutting Jobs

Our customers range from individuals bringing in a single gasket for reverse engineering, to large manufacturers providing CAD files for bulk orders. Here’s how it works:

1. Design
   • Reverse engineer from a sample gasket, adjusting dimensions as needed
   • Or work directly from your CAD drawing
2. Test Cut
   • If we’ve cut the material before, we use our stored machine settings
   • For new materials, we run a test cut to ensure the best finish
3. Cut & Finish
   • Clean, precise cuts with options for washing, labelling, and packaging
4. Delivery
   • Pickup from our Bayswater factory or shipped Australia-wide via our freight network
