About Us

• Ohio Waterjet Cutting is a division of Tool Technologies by Van Dyke, located in Marysville Ohio. Although Tool Technologies got its first waterjet machine in 2004, in 2017 we decided to re-brand the waterjet cutting division of the business for marketing purposes, so don’t be surprised when your call is answered with a Tool Technologies greeting. Tool Technologies by Van Dyke is a small company, serving national accounts and surrounding states since 1991.
• Ohio Waterjet Cutting serves you by making your custom-cut and stock parts from metal and plastic. Our present product mix includes automotive parts, parts from the electronics and battery industries, meter parts, and parts for machine shops. We are a resourceful shop which allows you to source all your parts made from a variety of materials, from one supplier.
• Steve Van Dyke is the owner and founder of Tool Technologies by Van Dyke, and now Ohio Waterjet Cutting. He started the shop in his garage in 1991, and has 26 years of experience making parts to order. Steve is in charge of sales and customer relations, and oversees all of the day-to-day operations of the company. Though he began small, he has experienced consistent growth and success. One of Steve’s earliest machine tools is displayed in the lobby of Tool Technologies’ shop. Although it is not used today, it serves as a reminder that one need not have the most expensive equipment at the beginning in order to learn to serve customers well and keep them returning for high quality parts and world class customer service.

Steve’s philosophy has been that of Napoleon Hill:

“Do not wait: the time will never be ‘just right’.  Start where you stand, and work whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.”
