REVOLUTION WATERJET

ANDREW, TEXAS

Brothers Keith and Troy Yarbrough started their West Texas Rental and Supply business on a shoe string while working their full time jobs. After many long nights and weekends, the business had enough traction to stand alone and the Yarbrough brothers haven’t looked back since.

Revolution Waterjet is a contract manufacturing company servicing the West Texas oil fields from their facility in Andrews, Texas. It was established in 2022 in response to poor service levels from its waterjet cutting supplier. Travis Yarbrough joined the family business and is charged with growing and managing this new enterprise.

REVOLUTION WATERJET RESULTS:

The dual heads and 5-axis capability makes it virtually limitless on what we can cut and how we can cut it. It’s wild what you can do with those 5-axis heads. We’ll cut anything, but waterjetting fiberglass has become a market niche for Revolution because it is more time-consuming than cutting metal and not a lot of people want to do it.

In addition to acquiring a waterjet machine, Revolution needed to build a facility to house the equipment. Before breaking ground on the eventual 50 ft. by 60 ft. shop, the company purchased a 10-ton crane for material handling and design the shop around it.

“I TOLD THE GUY AT JET EDGE, WHEN WE DO SOMETHING, WE DO I BIG. WE DON’T EVER WANT TO HAVE TO SAY ‘OUR MACHINE CAN’T CUT THAT.'”
