Cut Metal Specifications For House Numbers

Production Description: Cut metal house numbers and letters are produced by cutting a number or letter from flat sheets of aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, or steel. The cutting device is a high-pressure jet of water that contains a fine grit. This water-jet cutter produces very precise angles and curves for our numbers & letters. These cut pieces are then finished in the numerous styles below:

Our water-jet-cut aluminum numbers & letters are produced from aluminum alloy 5052 flat sheets. This alloy offers good cutting, welding and corrosion resistance. It allows excellent anodizing and has a superior hardness rating of H32.

The water-jet is a tiny, high-pressure stream of water that contains a fine grit. This high-pressure stream cuts precise corners and turns leaving a .02" inside radius.  This method produces the best detail for small numbers & letters.
